Museum of Pop CultureMuseum of Pop Culture
Our favorite museum in Seattle if you love pop culture, music, and movies. They have a lot of props/costumes/memorabilia from our (and likely some of your) favorite movies, artists, and shows. Megan loves the horror section and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer props. Edward loves the Blade Runner costumes and props as well as the Nirvana and Hendrix guitars and artifacts.

Recently renovated and located on the Seattle Waterfront, it is a small but well-executed aquarium with touch-tanks, otters, puffins, and the Giant Pacific Octopus. We loved it so much, it was a contender for potential wedding venues!

The newly renovated waterfront has many sights to explore. We love the Olympic Sculpture Park and views of the Puget Sound, West Seattle, Bainbridge Island, and Olympic mountains.

Don't miss the Ivar's Fish Bar for great chowder, fish n' chips, and ice cream!
