This is, by far, the loudest museum I have been to! They had lots of hard surfaces bouncing sounds off their loud hands-on exhibits! I actually plugged my ears at one point so that I could concentrate on what i was reading. I should also mention that it wasn't noisy because there were a lot of people there, because we were one of only four families we saw in the 2 hours we were there. There is general information the begging of seattle, the fish industry and lots of more modern information on seattle icons. They had 2 large photo galleries which were impressive, but not what I expected to see at that museum. I learned some things, but the WA State History Museum in Tacoma is a MUCH better museum.
Pros: great photograph collections
Cons: very noisy

Great, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I recommend going frequently (every 2-3 days) to see the dogs available for adoption. Small/medium-sized dogs and puppies get adopted quickly.
They'll let you take the dog you like for a walk and then you can decide on the process. There is a short application form but they are not ridiculous about it. They are mainly concerned that the animal will get a good home.

What a looser building. Kind of like the stupid Seattle Library, ugly, ugly, ugly.
We really wasted our money on that junk hole. The people with large egos sure enjoy the SAM but for my money, grab a hydro foil to Victoria and spend the day at the Provincial Museum.
Pros: Save your money
Cons: Save your money and buy a candy bar

Hello, just this short comment. I note this site has the phone number of this office, a map thast basically locates that office, but no address prominently displayed, nor any obviously easy access to explain what the hisotry of the office is, what it does, and what it cannot do.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

After receiving a small moving violation fine I opted to pay the price of the ticket vs. head to court and deal with the inconvenience of going downtown and disputing with a judge. Thinking this might just be more quick than the latter option, I was in for a surprise. After calling to speak with one of the customer service representatives and waiting several minutes on hold, after a brief hell-o and request for assistance with my account, I was immediately hung up on. I then waited on hold several minutes to reach someone again who acknowledged they had just talked with me, apologized for hanging up, then realizing the implication and the rudeness of their action, then denied it was previously them on the line (yes, in the same phone conversation). A few seconds into this call, I received the response from the customer service rep. that they could not help me and that I had to speak with another rep. (in the same position) that was out of the office. Having to squeeze in my request for information again before they unwillingly tried to speed up the end of my call by transferring my to someone else's vm, I managed to finally get an accurate balance from this rep...but not willingly nor with any pleasantness at all. After waiting a week and a half for the lady with the vm to get back to me (who never did) I had to call back to go through this whole process again. Less hanging up this time, but just as much unwillingness to help or provide any information I requested that all the c.s. reps should have easily been able to access through their shared computer server. The last straw: not trusting these reps over the phone, I finally went to pay the bill in person and the c.s. rep that I encountered almost started an argument (she was very confrontational) after I simply asked her if the cashier accepted cash. She assumed that I was paying cash at that moment (though I had never made that statement), entered it into the computer as a cash transaction, and when I pulled out a money order to cover the majority of the amt. plus maybe 2-3 dollars to cover the remainder (since I hadn't been sure what the total amount was) she asked in a tone of ridicule 'what are we doing here?' This to which I responded and as most would assume one would not even have to say anything: 'paying the ticket.' Though the transaction was pretty simple...the fact that she could respond so rudely over an action that is her job and that only requires she have the ability to count and see what is placed before her just emphasized the pretty gosh darn bad and incompetent service you might just get from people that our tax dollars are paying over $16 or $17 dollars an hour (not including their benefits) to serve us like this. This c.s. rep continued to blame me for not telling her how I would pay when she could've just asked (like her job would require....or at least deduce from her having some reasonable mathematic ability) and went on to have an attitude through the remainder of the transacion. All this long rattle in short, if you get any ticket...if you don't dispute, pay it ONLINE right away and don't dare to deal with these rude customer service reps at the Seattle Municipal Court Building. There are maybe one or two nice reps, but the odds that you will get a negative one are much greater...unfortunately. Just to note: I never approached any of these reps with a rude tone or statement...but simply had to keep asking to get basic information that should have been supplied with ease or suffer through an action that should have been completed without any form of struggle or pain. At this point I am very disappointed as well in the HR dept. responsible for the City of Seattle's hiring needs with the Municipal Court and any suprevisor that allows people like that to take advantage of funds we should be paying out for GOOD customer sevice. :) The End.
