The Foss Waterway Seaport was on the list of museums to visit in Tacoma and was a treat to the history of boats and seafaring in the area! Left me feeling like I needed something more though...

This museum is housed in a century-old wheat transfer facility. It does an excellant job of celebrating the art, culture, crafts and skills of Puget Sound’s maritime community

So good maritime museum. Different exhibits of various themes. We got a lot of knowledge from the museum. My daughter had a lot of fun on the fishing boat model. And we also liked to walk outside the building, beautiful and quiet. The park lot is not big but free.

A wonderful affordable museum with tons of history and interesting artifacts. If you live in or are visiting Tacoma this is a must see. The building itself is worth seeing. Also very friendly kind staff.
