Built by the community to serve the community, the SEA Discovery Center first opened its doors to the public in the 1960s at its original location in the Liberty Bay Arena. Even then, the center was already a strong advocate of marine protection and stewardship and regularly shared its knowledge and conservation efforts with the Kitsap community’s public and school districts. The center relocated to its present location in the 1990s, and while much has changed, its mission still stays the same. Today, the SEA Discovery Center’s aquarium is celebrated for its diverse aquarium and conservation practices and is managed by Western Washington University.
