Who we are:  The Seattle Aquarium is one of Washington state’s leading environmental education and stewardship institutions and the region’s green gathering place for discussion and dissemination of information about the oceans and marine conservation. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), it’s the eighth-largest aquarium in the U.S. by attendance and among the top five paid visitor attractions in the Puget Sound region.   The Aquarium hosts over 800,000 visitors each year—and that’s just the beginning of its community impact. The Aquarium works to advance awareness of and action for ocean health by increasing access for students, underserved populations and cultural groups through specialized programs and events such as Beach Naturalist
