Pacific Science Center
Born in the spirit of innovation at the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle, the Pacific Science Center (PacSci) has ignited curiosity for more than 60 years. Since its founding as the nation’s first science and technology center, PacSci has worked to expand access to science, serve as a vital resource for educators, and fuel discovery and experimentation as a vibrant community laboratory.
PacSci is an independent, not-for-profit institution that serves nearly 1 million people in the Pacific Northwest and beyond each year. Look for its iconic arches at the foot of the Space Needle in the Seattle Center—and for innovative PacSci programming and digital resources at schools, libraries, community centers throughout Washington and beyond.
