Built by the community to serve 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.

DEFY is an attitude and a rallying cry promoting individualism and freedom from the norm. It’s a collection of extreme air sport parks across America that are rewriting the rules of sport — giving our communities a place where they’re free to express and push themselves. Society has tons of expectations and rules, but DEFY gives everyone a safe place to defy those constraints. We’re for fiercely independent, fearless individuals who pass on organized sports in favor of nonconforming ones that challenge them in non-traditional ways.
