Special Message from Foss Waterway Seaport

Foss Waterway Seaport is open for visitors

The Foss Waterway Seaport announces its seasonal opening after 18 months of closure. Starting May 11, 2013 the Working Waterfront Maritime Museum will be open through the summer months with new exhibits in the renovated Balfour Dock Building.

Come step through the dramatic glass wall into historic Puget Sound and see its marine life, its classic boats and the life of the waterfront workers who made it what it is today. The historic exhibits, children’s Discovery Wharf and beautiful waterfront setting make this a great outing for families and adventurers of all ages!
