Thank you for supporting the SEA Discovery Center through the Foundation for WWU and Alumni, our non-profit partner.
With your support, we will build a new Giant Pacific Octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) habitat at SEA Discovery Center!
WWU's free public aquarium, SEA Discovery Center is located in Poulsbo, WA and is visited by 20,000+ visitors annually. Built by the community, for the community, SEA displays hundreds of native marine species in a variety of habitats. The Octopus habitat was once a highlight of the aquarium, but since reopening post-pandemic, it has been deemed inoperable and needs to be replaced.
The $250,000 campaign will do more than build a new exhibit at SEA. It will also expand educational programming for local elementary students, support WWU's environmental programming on the Peninsula, contribute to the economic vitality of the area, and will help inspire more people to become stewards of the Salish Sea.
Won't you join us?
As a self-supporting entity of Western Washington University, SEA is responsible for raising funds to support its operations, outreach and exhibits. SEA relies on individual, foundation and corporate donations to operate the FREE public aquarium and provide educational programming.
