Port Townsend Marine Science CenterAt the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula, the Port Townsend Marine Science Center fulfills its mission of empowering conservation for a thriving Salish Sea by welcoming people to discover and delight in the incredible biodiversity of this body of water. Since 1982 we have introduced hundreds of thousands of people to the wonders of the Salish Sea through our exhibits and programs at Fort Worden State Park and, since 2022, at the Flagship Landing building in downtown Port Townsend. The Port Townsend Marine Science Center fulfills its mission of “empowering conservation for a thriving Salish Sea” through engaging exhibits, hands-on educational programs, and vital citizen science projects. Over 20,000 people every year are inspired by live marine animals and an orca skeleton in the Museum at Fort Worden State Park, and rotating exhibits in the Gallery downtown. Thousands more participate in school programs, summer camps, low-tide walks, a lecture series, wildlife cruises, and sustainability workshops.info@ptmsc.org 532 Battery Way, Port Townsend WA, USA 98368
