If that's a real thing where is it? Pacific Science Center is good, museums become a hobby once one has kids.

Museum of Flight is good Pacific Science center is ok MOPOP rules The aquarium is expensive but understandably so I suppose. OpEx has to be crazy high for them. Both Seattle and Tacoma zoos are a lock

The WA State History Museum in Tacoma is solid, if a little dry. The Pt. Defiance Zoo and Aquarium is great and keeps updating and modernizing their facilities and exhibits which is a nice bonus. MOPOP has been my favorite museum in the PNW for a while but sometimes I think they don't rotate through exhibits quickly enough. Or maybe I just had a period where I went too often. But their Star Trek thing a couple years ago was amazing and their permanent sci-fi collection is really nice.

Yeah Pt. Defiance, Seattle aquarium and zoo in Seattle have been regular gotos. Tacoma's zoo lights are better in the winter too.

We've missed the last couple years but I am pretty sure I've gone almost every year since I was like 12. That was... Some time ago.

Also a membership with OMSI gets you and 3 other people into the Museum of Flight in Tukwilla(?) because they are both okay of the ASTCI. Taking a family tipp Museum of flight one and then to OMSI once is probably enough to cover an OMSI membership.

Point Defiance aquarium has sharks, Seattle aquarium does not, making it better despite being less than half the size. The Pacific Science Center is alright but completely pales in comparison to other major cities' science center equivalents (Chicago and NY come to mind).

Yeah, I wouldn't take a kid too young to be vaccinated or an immune compromised there or frankly to any other public place in Western Oregon or Western Washington right now. If your kids are old enough to be vaccinated and aren't, you should get them vaccinated and then you should get a vasectomy.

If you enjoyed the Living Computer Museum and have older kids, the Telecommunications Museum is a hidden gem. Watching a mechanical switching device place a call was pretty neat. http://www.telcomhistory.org/connections-museum-seattle/

Portland Zoo membership gets you in free (plus others, depending on membership) to one another museum each month, too. Also OMSI should have never moved out of Washington Park.

The good guy that did a hospital circuit through most of the region retired and handed off his practice, I think I was one of the last before the transition. New guy is apparently not as good.

MOHAI makes me sad because it used to be where Seattle Aquatics headquartered and it owned knowing that when my boss looked out the window she actually saw water.

What was the official argument for that loophole, anyway? Was it along the lines of "job creation" or something?

Christoph posted:What was the official argument for that loophole, anyway? Was it along the lines of "job creation" or something? The argument is that it takes a lot of time and money to build new buildings and those people should get to soak rent at whatever the market will bear for a while. There's a lot built into that assumption that I think is wrong but the carve-out is there because it is intended to keep people from trying to kill the overall package by going "well the builders won't build any more new buildings so this will just make things worse"
