We are very pleased to announce that Pacific Science

Center has been awarded the prestigious National Medal for Museum and Library Service. Pacific

Science Center is one of five museums and five libraries

across the country to receive this year’s award from the

Institute of Museum and Library Services. The National

Medal was presented on Wednesday, November 14

at the White House. Bryce Seidl, President and CEO,

accepted the medal along with Andrea Rose Nichols,

a Discovery Corps alumna and member of our Science

Interpretation Program staff and Chris Ackerley, Board

Member, and past Board Chair.

The National Medal for Museum and Library Service is

the nation’s highest honor for museums and libraries,

recognizing extraordinary community service and

outreach. Medal winners are selected from nominations

for institutions across the nation that demonstrate

innovative approaches to public service. Pacific Science

Center’s Portal to the Public, Discovery Corps and

Lake Washington Watershed Internship Program were

cited as examples of the Science Center’s exceptional

programs serving the community.

Pacific Science Center was nominated for this award

by Senator Patty Murray and was supported by other

members of our state delegation including Jay Inslee,

Dave Reichert, Jim McDermott and Norm Dicks.

Pacific Science Center is the second museum in

Washington state to receive this award (The Wing Luke

Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience

received the award in 1995), and is one of only six

museums on the west coast to receive the medal since

it was first awarded in 1994.

fields of science, technology and industry. These

accomplishments are a bridge which carries

us confidently towards the 21st century.”

On behalf of the Board and staff and most importantly, those we serve, we thank you for all you make possible.

“What we show is achieved with great effort in the fields

of science, technology and industry,” said President John

F. Kennedy on opening day of the 1962 Seattle World’s

Fair. “These accomplishments are a bridge which carries

us confidently towards the 21st century.”

As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pacific Science

Center, we believe we have successfully built that bridge

to the 21st century. Throughout five decades we have

brought together people and science, engaging all of us

in scientific inquiry and discovery, impacting individual lives

and, in doing so, enriching the community.

The same spirit of exploration and imagination that

sparked the World’s Fair in 1962 set the stage in 2012 for

the inaugural Seattle Science Festival, a community-

wide celebration of science and technology that took

place at Seattle Center and venues throughout Seattle

in June. Along with Pacific Science Center, the region’s

top research and educational institutions, museums,

businesses and nonprofit organizations came together to

engage and inspire the community by presenting science

in unusual settings and unexpected ways, drawing over

45,000 participants.

The festival was just one of many highlights during

Pacific Science Center’s golden anniversary year. As

we look towards our next 50 years, we’re preparing to

take our engagement with the community to a new

level with the opening of Professor Wellbody’s

Academy of Health & Wellness—our first new

permanent exhibit in over a decade. This exhibit

empowers people with both the knowledge and the

tools to make healthier choices and change their

behavior associated with health and well-being.

With our undisputed blockbuster, Tutankhamun: The

Golden King and the Great Pharaohs, we reached

both backward and forward in time. The exhibit itself

transports guests back in history 5,000 years to witness

more than 100 artifacts representing 2,000 years of

Egyptian history.

The 50 for 50th: Future Ready campaign—our

plan to raise $50 million for renovations and expanded

programs—has passed the halfway mark. Guests are

enjoying many positive improvements to our campus,

including renovations and enhancements to our

PACCAR IMAX® Theater, a new glass elevator and

covered walkway. These lasting improvements wouldn’t

be possible without generous philanthropic support.

We are thrilled to be the recipient of a 2012 National Medal for Museum and library Service, an

award that honors outstanding institutions that make

significant and exceptional contributions to their

communities. Pacific Science Center is one of ten

recipients and is the only science center to be recognized

this year. We were chosen, in part, because we connect

our communities to science—the work you enable us

to do through your generous support. On behalf of the

Board and staff and most importantly, those we serve,

we thank you for all you make possible.

Our newest permanent exhibit, Professor Wellbody’s

Academy of Health & Wellness, offers 7,000

square feet of hands-on inventions, gadgets, activities

and experiences that present health as a life-long

process of balancing proper exercise, diet, rest and

hygiene. Wellbody Academy presents our guests with

an experience that conveys how science helps us to

understand many aspects of our lives.

Dr. Maxine hayes—a pediatrician and also the State

Health Officer for the Washington State Department

of Health—believes the exhibit has the power to

transform our communities in a powerful way.

“Every community, every individual, could stand to be

healthier than we are. Behavior is one of the strongest

determinants of how healthy we are; having said

that, we have to recognize that people are immersed

in environments that provide them or deter them from

opportunities to make healthy choices.”

Wellbody Academy is a new paradigm of community

engagement in science. In The Studio, guests will be

able to learn about current health and wellness research

taking place in Pacific Northwest’s public and private labs.

Interactive displays will provide an engaging setting in

which researchers will share their work with members of

the community. Guests can use the Wellbody Network

kiosk in The Studio to explore healthcare careers and to

learn more about featured scientists.

Dr. Hayes notes that Wellbody Academy comes at

a critical time. “The opportunity to have an exhibit

that’s focused on wellness and on what communities

can do by working together to create healthier

environments—that’s what the exhibit is all about. The

messages are right on: Eat well. Play well. Sleep well.

Wash your hands well. Live well. And do these things

over the course of your life.”

“This exhibit is an example of the community coming

together. It’s tremendously powerful. Wellbody Academy

is so important because it’s timely, relevant and aligned

with where the health community wants to take us. The

fact that Pacific Science Center draws people from

across regions and cultures is a huge advantage.”

“I’m excited about this exhibit because it’s a true

demonstration of what is possible in a community

like ours where people have come together and

contributed to a small step in a trajectory of steps

towards a solution. As a pediatrician, I’ve seen that

little changes go a long way.”

“This exhibit is a call to action. It’s a call to our

communities to create environments and make

investments in health and wellness. The real beneficiary

is society itself. The healthier people are, the more

productive they are, and then we all benefit.”

7 A New Paradigm of Community Engagement

TAkINg SCIENCE TO ThE COMMuNITY

Wellbody Academy is just one of the many ways

Pacific Science Center illuminates the importance and

relevance of science by making it accessible to people

in their everyday lives and in the shared experiences

of the community.

The first annual Seattle Science Festival was

conceived of, produced and led by Pacific Science Center

as a community-driven project. The Science Festival

comprised three components: Science EXPO Day, Science

Festival Week and the Science Luminaries Series.

The Seattle Science Festival generated a tremendous

buzz about the importance of science and technology to

our community. Its impact was felt well beyond the core

of Pacific Science Center members and regular guests.

Arguably the most impressive and encouraging statistic

to come out of the festival is this: 75 percent were not

current Pacific Science Center members and 35 percent

were either infrequent or first-time guests.

Science EXPO Day took place on June 2 on the Seattle

Center campus and exceeded all expectations, attracting

more than 20,000 children, students, adults and families

who interacted with the 130 exhibits, hands-on science

experiments, activities, performances and demonstrations

that were offered throughout the day.

During Science Festival Week, June 3–10, thousands

participated in over 100 events offered by

organizations throughout the region including the

University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer

Research Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration (NOAA), Facebook, Northwest

Association for Biomedical Research and many others.

With the Science Luminaries Series, headlined by

Stephen Hawking, Pacific Science Center brought

some of the greatest minds of our time—the rock

stars of science—to our community. These unique

and innovative events integrated dynamic, interactive

presentations on scientific and technical topics given by

outstanding communicators, with thematically linked

artistic performances focused on cutting-edge topics of

great contemporary relevance.

A truly community-wide event such as the Science

Festival would not have been possible without the

generosity of a large number of sponsors, partners,

collaborators and volunteers from throughout the

community, as well as the early and significant support

of our lead sponsor, JPMorgan Chase.

New programs such as these significantly expand our

appeal, extend our reach and deepen our impact on

the community.

“We see ourselves as a portal to the public —

specifically, to increase the understanding

of science and scientific literacy of

our citizenship.”

A regional leader in science, math and technology


MONA BAIlEY is an educational consultant and the

former Assistant Washington State Superintendent for

Public Instruction as well as the Deputy Superintendent

for Seattle Public Schools. She is a longstanding Pacific

Science Center Board Member who brings a unique

and highly informed perspective on the leadership

role Pacific Science Center takes in shaping science

education across the state.

“The critical work Pacific Science Center does to

bring Science On Wheels to rural and small school

districts across the state— where it’s hard to attract

science teachers and where you don’t have the

breadth and depth of science courses available—is

very valuable,” she says.

She points to the professional development opportunities

that Pacific Science Center provides teachers around the

state and in Seattle as a vital opportunity. “Through the

LASER (Leadership and Assistance for Science Education

Reform) program, we help teachers update their

knowledge and instructional strategies. New knowledge

is being discovered all the time.”

“There is also the opportunity for any teacher to come

here and learn from the exhibits on the floor. And not just

science teachers. Look at what teachers of social studies

could learn from the King Tut exhibit, for example.”

Pacific Science Center plays a leading role in offering

informal science education to people and families

throughout the Pacific Northwest. “We see ourselves

as being a ‘portal to the public,’” she says. “Specifically

to increase the understanding of science and scientific

literacy of our citizenship. Beyond the formal educational

programs, there are many opportunities, like the Science

Cafés, for the community to learn and enhance their

knowledge of science and to create interest that may

have been dormant, or not there at all.”

“Regionally, families come and they have the

opportunity to visit a first-class science center that’s

not a place where you just go look at things, but

a place you are engaged and participate in the

experience. So I do think we’re a leader in the region

in terms of helping to increase the literacy of citizens.”

Mona points out that all of this is intentional. It’s

central to Pacific Science Center’s mission to inspire

a lifelong interest in science, math and technology.

“Our work in Science On Wheels and professional

development opportunities are all coordinated under

the notion that we are going to help our educators—

and in turn, our students.”

As a former middle school principal, science teacher

and deputy superintendent of the largest school

district in the state, Mona herself is a lifelong learner.

“It’s my objective every day to learn something. So I

take advantage of all the programs the Science Center

offers to increase my own knowledge of science.

Whether it’s the planetarium or a film we’re offering, I

am learning through the programs we offer. Whenever

the doors are open and especially when new programs

are implemented, I can learn over and over again.”

A lEADER IN SCIENCE EDuCATION

Pacific Science Center is a regional, national

and international leader as exemplified by the

programs we present, whether spearheading

collaboration among science institutions with

Portal to the Public, or securing a grant from

the National Institutes of Health for The Studio

within Wellbody Academy, or being one of the

top institutions to link our Science on a Sphere

exhibit with other programs on our exhibit floor.

We play a leading role in shaping statewide

science education standards, taking a forward

position on policy and standards involving STEM

(science, technology, engineering and math)

education and working through the public/private

partnerships such as LASER on science education

reform and the professional development of

science teachers. And in February, Pacific Science

Center hosted Smart Schools: Lessons Learned

About Schools Successful in STEM, one of three

regional one-day workshops presented nationwide

by the National Science Foundation.

REFlECTINg ThE SOul OF SEATTlE AND ThE NORThWEST

Washington State Representative Reuven Carlyle

believes Pacific Science Center represents the

power science has in all of our lives. “This is the

epicenter of what’s possible when kids get access

[to science],” he says. “It’s not about pocket

protectors and lab coats, but about understanding

why rain falls, about tides and forests and

salmon. The soul of Seattle and the Northwest is

represented in what Pacific Science Center does.”

As Representative of the district that is home to

Pacific Science Center, Reuven says he “wants to

empower [Pacific Science Center’s] success. They

help get science education in the classroom, help

kids experience science first hand. They offer world

class exhibits that are the best of the best.”

Reuven points out that Pacific Science Center is

highly regarded by state legislators and is widely

recognized for its statewide relevance, and notes

that he and other legislators will call experts at

Pacific Science Center to inform their decisions on

science policy and education.

Reuven is particularly fond of the experiences

Pacific Science Center has offered his family over

the course of many years. As residents of Queen

Anne, Pacific Science Center is like a backyard

playground, a place he and his wife and children

spend many drizzly afternoons learning about

the wonders of science and technology. “Pacific

Science Center is a gem. It plays an important role

economically, socially and culturally.”

2“It is very encouraging to me that so many people in this area have an interest in science. To me, it reflects on the literacy of the area that I really appreciate about being here. You’ve tapped into some need. It’s obvious that you are successful.”

DR. kRISTIN lAIDRE engages in mysterious,

exotic research at the far reaches of the globe. As

a researcher at the Applied Physics Laboratory’s

Polar Science Center and an assistant professor in

the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the

University of Washington, Kristin spends her days

studying large marine mammals in the Arctic. Her

work aims to understand how they survive in such

extreme environments and how climate change

affects them and, ultimately, all of us. “Many

scientists want the public to understand the work

they’re doing, but there are few opportunities for

us to share,” she says. “Pacific Science Center gives

scientists a direct connection to the community.”

Kristin has been involved with Pacific Science

Center through our Science Communication Fellowship Program, which provides scientists

with the skills to help articulate and explain complex

scientific issues when communicating with the

general public. During monthly Scientist Spotlight

events and at large-scale research weekends,

each participating scientist develops an activity

linked to their research that engages the public.

As part of Pacific Science Center’s annual Polar

Science Weekend, Kristin developed an activity

about narwhals—the intriguing, deep-diving

marine mammals that are particularly vulnerable to

climate change. Her work demonstrates how these

creatures survive in a particularly hostile marine

ecosystem, where short food chains shape the

behavior of top predators.

“I believe in scientists getting out and talking to the

community,” Kristin says. “It’s our role to share what

we’re doing, learning and publishing. Pacific Science

Center helps us share that knowledge in a broader

context, one that’s accessible to the general public.”

“Pacific Science Center has helped me think more

critically about what we, as scientists, think is

relevant.” She adds that scientists have an obligation

to make the general public more aware and help

them to understand their work. In doing so, scientists

discover new ways to share their knowledge and

research, encouraging people to dig deeper into

important scientific issues. “Pacific Science Center

gives me an outlet. It brings me out into the

community… to communicate with the general

public, which is not always easy for scientists.”

FOSTERINg SCIENCE CONVERSATIONS

Pacific Science Center engages the community in a

dialogue both on our campus and in venues across

the city and region. Our popular Science Cafés,

with generous support provided by the MetLife

Foundation, are each attended by more than 100

people and epitomize our efforts to expand and

deepen the conversations about science in our

community. Held at three Puget Sound locations, the

Cafés bring scientists face-to-face with the public for

intimate presentations and extended discussion in

the congenial atmosphere of a neighborhood café

or pub. Thanks to our Science Café partner, KCTS9,

these free monthly events are captured on video and

made available online at KCTS9.org.

In 2007, Pacific Science Center received a

National Science Foundation grant to develop

“Portal to the Public”—a collaboration among

three museums and a research organization to

provide communication training for scientists in

the community, with the aim of fostering face-to-

face interactions between these scientists and the

public. In 2008 Pacific Science Center launched

the Portal to the Public Initiative as a larger

effort to connect people with current scientific

issues and topics. The Portal to the Public Initiative

encourages scientists to share their work with the

public and provides scientists with the training

and tools necessary to get their ideas across to

a broad audience, develop hands-on activities,

solicit questions and foster a true conversation.

The initiative includes the work that stemmed

from the Portal to the Public grant as well as

our renowned Science Cafés and Portal to Current Research, a dynamic exhibit space that

showcases research by local scientists through a

combination of digital media, graphics, objects,

interactive displays and programs.

As Director and Health Officer for Public Health–

Seattle & King County, Dr. David Fleming has a

deep appreciation for the ways in which Pacific

Science Center contributes to the dialogue

associated with public health issues. “In general,

the public may not appreciate how much science

and public health are related to each other,” he

says. “That is exactly what Pacific Science Center

is doing with the Wellbody Academy exhibit. It’s

making wellness something that is interesting

and fun, something that kids as well as adults

will enjoy learning about. The exhibit makes

it clear that it really is through the power of

science that we are able to increase the number

of healthy years we live.”

“I used to think that scientists tend to be

somewhat isolated—that we’re kind of geeky

in most people’s minds—and that science isn’t

necessarily a mainstream thing that people

appreciate. Pacific Science Center, with its focus on

making science interesting and fun to the public,

substantially contributes to our community.”

TYlER RIVERADiscovery Corps Member


Inspiring a lifelong interest in science

TYlER RIVERA was a shy 17-year old from South

Seattle when he joined Pacific Science Center’s

Discovery Corps, a science career ladder program

which teaches life skills as well as encourages youth

to help carry out our mission of inspiring a lifelong

interest in science, math and technology. When he

first joined Discovery Corps, Tyler knew he wanted

to do something with science, but he had no idea

what direction to take. Now, a year and a half later,

he has graduated high school and is heading to

Western Washington University to study physics.

“Pacific Science Center gave me a great experience

that helped push me towards a decision,” he says.

“Being able to talk to people about something I really

enjoy—the science of physics—made me know that

I wanted to teach science.”

Tyler’s story is just one of many that illustrate how

Pacific Science Center is making an impact on young

people’s lives, helping to shape their understanding

of, and interest in, science and math and making

them aware of careers and associated educational

pathways in a wide range of scientific disciplines.

Tyler notes that his experience with Pacific Science

Center has provided him with another point of entry

for learning and discovery. “I’m particularly interested

in physics,” he says, “but when I worked on a

program Discovery Corps offers in conjunction with

Science On Wheels, I had to learn about electrical

engineering for the “Charged Up” series,” an

experience he might not have otherwise had.

The Discovery Corps program provides young people

with important life skills—presentation techniques

and communication skills, to name two—that set

them up for success in school, work and life. “I

had confidence problems before coming to Pacific

Science Center,” Tyler says. “I didn’t even want to

answer the door when someone knocked. I wasn’t

sociable the way I am today. This program opened

me up to new opportunities and made me feel

confident with myself. It opened my eyes to my own

communication skills and made me want to bring

science and people together. I feel really fortunate

to be part of this program. I feel like I’ve changed

a lot of people’s lives. I have the Science Center to

thank for that.”

Tyler is a member of the first generation in his

family to pursue higher education. As he enters his

freshman year of college, he has already set his sights

on his career. “I had my mind set on teaching high

school physics at my old high school. And that’s still

an option on the table, but right now I’m thinking

about somehow staying with Pacific Science Center. I

really love it here. I want to come back and give back

more than they have given to me.”

“That’s what I have my mind set on now… coming

back here.”

PROMOTINg INFORMAl SCIENCE EDuCATION

In 2010, John H. Falk and Lynn D. Dierking, professors

at Oregon State University and experts in free-choice

science learning, released a study, “The 95 Percent

Solution,” that identified out-of-school time, time

spent at museums, aquariums and science centers,

as the key to achieving greater public understanding

of science. As Falk and Dierking point out, Americans

spend on average less than five percent of their lives

in classrooms, so it is our experiences out in the world

that shape our appreciation and comprehension of

science, math and technology.

Through our partnership with Zeno (formerly

Explorations in Math) we help build strong

math and science programs and illustrate the strong

connection between the two subjects by tearing down

the notion that they are “separate” disciplines. Our

signature Science On Wheels program takes science

and technology on the road, bringing science to life

for schools, fairs, scout groups, libraries and more.

Pacific Science Center offers a plethora of ways for

young people to get excited about science. Research Weekends provide children and families opportunities

for deep immersion in science with an equal measure

of fun. For the seventh straight year, guests at Polar Science Weekend interacted with scientists from

University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory, built

igloos, snuggled into hooded cold-weather parkas and

climbed into tents used in Arctic and Antarctic research

camps. This year with support from a NASA grant, we

were able to provide free transportation and admission

to Pacific Science Center for 2,000 students who qualified

for free and reduced lunch who would not otherwise

have been able to attend Polar Science Weekend.

“I love science, I think it’s very important—more so

every day...” In our overly wired, electronic age, Betty

Bottler, community philanthropist and Emeritus Board

Member at Pacific Science Center says Pacific Science

Center provides face-to-face, experiential learning

opportunities that are more important than ever. Betty

believes nothing leaves more of an impact than actually

experiencing science and math through exhibits and

events. “It makes kids more aware, when they see

different exhibits and things working and happening.”

The informal education available through a collaboration

between Pacific Science and Zeno is much needed in

our community and region. “I’m very, very impressed

with the Math and Science Night Out events,” she

says. She notes that these events draw “huge, diverse

crowds,” bring communities together, and help provide

opportunities people can’t find anywhere else. Betty sites

an exchange she had with a mother of two boys, at a

Math and Science Night Out event in South Seattle as an

example of the impact Pacific Science Center has.

“[A mother told me,] ‘I just know my boys are going to

get ahead in this world. This is what they need.’”

“I think [my son] really enjoyed it because [the scientist] seemed to interact really well with the kids and tell them exactly what they’re doing... the fact that he was willing to take the time and show them [their research activity] and talk to them at their level...”

A vital economic and cultural engine

“I believe the way science is taught and conveyed in the media today leaves many people feeling inadequate and portrays science as a boring endeavor. I think there are better ways to convey the excitement of science and technology to the general public, and I think events like this are a great way to do it.”

—lIFE SCIENCES RESEARCh WEEkEND SCIENTIST

JOhN WARNER, former Boeing executive, Pacific

Science Center Board Member and stalwart champion

of public education, understands how the economy

and culture of Seattle are fueled to a significant extent

by science and technology. And that means we need

a community that is scientifically literate and engaged.

“You don’t learn about science by visiting Microsoft

or Boeing,” Warner says. “That’s where science takes

place. But Pacific Science Center establishes a culture

that supports that science and technology community

and provides an avenue for that community to explain

what they’re doing for the citizens here.”

And how does Pacific Science Center do this? “Pacific

Science Center creates settings in which guests can

experience the fun in science,” Warner says. “It’s kind

of hard to get the fun in science. They create a culture

that promotes excitement about science and learning.

That’s what happens here at Pacific Science Center.”

John is wary of talking about the economic impact

of Pacific Science Center with numbers and data.

“Too often people look at organizations like this and

they ask, ‘How many people attended?’ ‘How much

money did they spend?’ That’s interesting. That’s

significant. But the larger impact is the fact that

Pacific Science Center has created a lovely place to

experience science. Period. My friends in the science

community adore Pacific Science Center. They’d be

lost without it.”

23 A Vital and Economic Cultural Engine

5ticket sales for Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs reached within the first six months of the exhibition.

500,000+

Appearing at Pacific Science Center for the

last time in North America before returning

permanently to Egypt, Tutankhamun: The

Golden King and the Great Pharaohs has

dazzled us with 130 artifacts, more than twice the

number in the 1978 exhibition in Seattle, many

of which are from the tombs of earlier pharaohs

and which help to put King Tut’s life into context.

This time around, our understanding of ancient

Egypt and of King Tut himself has benefitted

from 30 years of scientific advances, such as DNA

testing of mummies. We’ve further deepened

the experience of discovery with two IMAX® films,

a themed planetarium show, Ancient Egypt

Explorers camps (all sessions sold out within a few

days) and a dynamic speakers series that brought

world-renowned experts to Town Hall Seattle,

thanks to the support of 4Culture.

We’re on track to break attendance records and

the reception this exhibition has received from

media has exceeded expectations. Our hotel

sponsors are thrilled with the response they’re

receiving, Amtrak has rolled out a promotional

effort up and down the Pacific coast and the

city has temporarily named King Street Station

“King Tut Street Station,” its exterior graced with

a 28-foot-tall, eight-ton statue of Anubis, god

of the Egyptian afterlife, for the duration of the

exhibition. Although we do not yet have final data

on the exhibition, it’s clear that King Tut’s impact

on the community has been enormous.

Tom Norwalk, president of Seattle’s Convention and

Visitors Bureau, and the local sponsor for the King Tut

exhibition, notes that King Tut has served as a draw for

cultural tourism to Seattle. “When Pacific Science Center

steps up to host an exhibition on the scale of King Tut,

it brings many benefits, both cultural and economic,

to our city. Events like the King Tut exhibition benefit

not only the producing partners, but also hundreds of

affiliated businesses in tourism: hotels, restaurants, other

cultural organizations, attractions, airlines, retail and more.”

Yet King Tut’s effect is much greater than the sum of the

aforementioned statistics. Children of all ages will long

remember the suspended-in-time aura of the darkened

exhibition rooms, the ethereal background music

and the opportunity to view these rare and fantastic

objects—including the small game box and pieces, so

much like our own strategy games, or the angular

jawline of Tutankhamun’s probable father, Akhenaten,

or perhaps the sarcophagus for Prince Thutmose’s cat!

Seattle is a national leader in philanthropy and we’re

known for the generosity of our community. Pacific

Science Center has thrived for 50 years thanks to the

dedicated commitment and support of individual

donors, corporations, foundations and public

funders. As we head towards the completion of our

50 for 50th campaign, continued support and a

strong finish will help transform Pacific Science Center

via an endowment that will enable us to continue

to address the needs of our facilities, bring the next

great show to town and to continue to serve as a vital

economic and cultural engine in the community.

“When Pacific Science Center steps up to host

an exhibition on the scale of King Tut,

it brings many benefits, both cultural and

economic, to our city.”

“Science centers blossomed across the

country after Seattle’s. In fact, after Seattle’s,

cities seemed rather incomplete without one.”

An iconic landmark and a sustainable future


For kNuTE “SkIP” BERgER, who has chronicled

Seattle’s cultural landscape for Crosscut, Seattle

Magazine, Seattle Weekly and recently published

“Space Needle, The Spirit of Seattle,” the official

50th anniversary history of the tower, sees Pacific

Science Center as a fixture in the cultural fabric of

our city. “It’s become a go-to educational attraction

that has inspired countless ordinary folks,” he says.

“I have sometimes wondered if Seattle’s commitment

to science and technology and research is partly

motivated by the fact that Pacific Science Center has

inculcated so many of us with the value of science,

thought and experimentation.”

Knute believes Pacific Science Center’s impact

resonates well beyond Seattle. “The purpose of the

original U.S. Science Pavilion at the Seattle World’s Fair

was to capture the public’s imagination and present

science and its potential in an engaging way. It did

that. Science centers blossomed across the country

after Seattle’s. In fact, after Seattle’s, cities seemed

rather incomplete without one.”

PRESERVINg AN ICONIC lANDMARk

Nearly 50 years ago, Time magazine ran a cover

story on Minoru Yamasaki, the architect of the U.S.

Science Pavilion at the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. Time

called the pavilion “probably the most talked-about

architecture of 1962.”

A Seattle native and graduate of the University of

Washington’s architecture program, Yamasaki rose to

international renown for an extensive portfolio that

includes the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport

main terminal and the World Trade Center towers. For

the U.S. Science Pavilion, Yamasaki wanted to create

an oasis of calm amidst the hubbub of the World’s Fair.

Our campus leaves an indelible impression on guests,

on city residents and, in the case of our iconic arches,

on the skyline of the city itself. In recognition of its

enduring impact on the city, our campus received

designation as a City of Seattle Historic Landmark in

2010 under all six criteria (one of only two Seattle

landmarks to be so designated), by a unanimous vote

from the City of Seattle’s Landmarks Preservation Board.

Knute adds that “from an architectural standpoint,

Minoru Yamasaki’s Science Pavilion was the gem of

the fair; most notable as a rare example of modern

architecture that everyone could love. It was designed

to be a secular temple, and the “Space Gothic” arches

represent a blend of scholasticism, the fast rising

nature of modern exploration and the beauty of pure

form. The buildings’ white and sparkling surfaces

embody the purity of the pursuit of knowledge not

motivated by commerce, academia or ego. Even with

its high-mindedness, it retains a populist appeal. It says

all of us are welcome in this sanctuary where truth is

pursued and revealed.”

27 An Iconic Landmark and a Sustainable Future

6As we look forward, we have already begun

improvements to the flagship campus in keeping

with our landmark status. At the close of 2011,

we opened the renovated Eames IMAX® Theater,

renamed the PACCAR IMAX® Theater, in honor of the

generous support provided by PACCAR Inc, which

now screens both 2D and 3D films and is a premier

venue for hosting lectures, debates, multi-media

presentations and other engaging programs that

reflect Pacific Science Center’s mission of inspiring its

community about science. The theater also boasts

a new digital sound system, new seating and a

complete refurbishment of the space.

To improve accessibility for the King Tut exhibition

it was necessary for us to add a courtyard elevator

and a glass-covered walkway that integrated with

the historic courtyard and would be sensitive to the

original Minoru Yamasaki design. These significant

renovations helped us better serve the huge

crowds for King Tut by increasing accessibility and

enhancing the guest experience for people as they

queued for the exhibit.

Finally, we successfully resealed the leaking

courtyard reflecting pools, an extensive project that

will enhance the ambience of our campus, as well

as save water and cost, which aligns well with our

commitment to sustainability.

gENERATIONS OF SuPPORT

For 25 years, two generations of the Ackerley family

have supported Pacific Science Center with enthusiasm

and dedication. Inspired by Ginger Ackerley—who

joined the Board at Pacific Science Center in 1987

and has sat on nearly every committee, served as the

President of the Board in 1995 and Chair in 1996, and

now continues to serve as a Director Emeritus—the

family has helped shape a culture of philanthropy

around Pacific Science Center by helping people

understand how we function and by underscoring

the value of our mission and the work we do.

Chris Ackerley, a Pacific Science Center Board

Member and Past Board Chair for 10 years, notes

“in an age when public resources for education are

becoming fewer and fewer, we’re an institution

that provides a critical interactive experience

for kids and teachers alike to be inspired by

the possibilities of engagement with science,

technology, engineering and math. We fill a critical

void. And we do it across the state.”

Chris says that he learned about the importance

of philanthropy from his parents. “That’s the

responsibility we’ve been taught, so our opportunity

is to teach that to others.” He is especially focused

on cultivating a new donor base among a younger

generation of philanthropists. “This is a work in

progress,” he says. “I’d like to see successful young

leaders getting involved [in Pacific Science Center],

particularly from the tech sector.”

Ginger Ackerley notes that “bringing science to children

is a much needed commodity,” and the single most

important thing Pacific Science Center does is “to open

children’s eyes to the beauty and wonder of science.”

Chris adds, “We are inspiring the future workforce. If

you’re going to be competitive, you need to look at

Pacific Science Center as a research and development

shop that you should support.”

WORkINg TOWARDS A SuSTAINABlE FuTuRE

CRAIg NORSEN is a principal at the Seneca Real

Estate Group and has over 40 years of experience

in real estate development and construction.

An expert in environmental stewardship and

sustainability, Craig is helping lead Pacific Science

Center’s Sustainability Initiative, a framework that

will help define and create sustainable buildings and

operations at Pacific Science Center, including net

zero energy and water use, and more.

“By embracing the very high goal of transforming

the Center into a ‘Living Building,’ Pacific Science

Center can be a leader in the community by

demonstrating the innovative techniques and

forward thinking that it takes to preserve and

transform existing— or in this case, historic—

buildings into truly sustainable facilities,” he says.

“This opportunity to assist Pacific Science Center and

work with such a great team of professionals has been

a really interesting and fun experience,” Craig says.

“The most satisfying part of leading the Sustainability

Initiative was the wonderful ‘I want to be a part of

this’ responses I got from the dozens of technical

specialists and industry leaders we reached out to for

help in developing the plan. At last count, about 50

people contributed their talents to the effort. They

all have real market experience in their own areas of

specialty and contributed hundreds of great ideas.”

The sustainability team produced an extensive report

that details specific steps that the Science Center

can take in order to accomplish a transformation to

sustainable practices over time. In working towards

this goal we’ll launch a major initiative that will

improve the energy and operating performance

of our 1962-era mechanical and lighting systems.

Pacific Science Center is developing a plan for

implementing these sustainable practices that will

work around existing programs and operations

and will utilize available funding. Some first steps

in this direction, such as the development and

implementation of a seismic retrofit plan, have

already been completed. Insulation has been added

and new mechanical and lighting control systems

and operational improvements are also in the

process of being installed.
