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
10pacificsciencecenter.org
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.”

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.”

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
26pacificsciencecenter.org
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.
