Happy New Year

Happy 2011!

Woah- no that we can all catch our breath after a frenetic holiday season we're gearing up for a very busy 2011. We're kicking things off at the Seattle Wedding Show this weekend at the Washington State Convention Center.
We're expecting our remaining Summer Saturdays to disappear quickly at the Wedding Show so come see us and ask about the Wedding Show Discount. Also check out the blog over at our friends, 425 Magazine for their recent post on Luly Yang's Ocean Couture here at the Aquarium:

Alright for now; we're wishing you all a very Happy New Year and we hope to see you soon!

Happy Halloween!

Getting into the spirit at the Seattle Aquarium! 

It's been quite a week here at the fishbowl. Jeff Renner and King 5 News carving jack o lanterns underwater in our Window on Washington Waters Exhibit and the best Halloween Party in all of Seattle!

We want to wish everyone a great and safe Halloween Weekend! 

Summer's Almost Gone

What a fantastic summer it's been here at the Seattle Aquarium. Beautiful weddings, incredible company events and now-Afternoon summer picnics. It's been a fantastic season and we now we're looking forward to fall. Football, Halloween, Squash and Scarves. We've got some wonderful weddings coming up and a couple great surprises in October. Everyone enjoy the rest of the nice weather!

W is for WOAH!

Big shout out to Wild Tangent Games for the best party of the month so far at the Seattle Aquarium! 1400 people, casinos, music and drinks everywhere!

Additionally, this is their third year back here at the Aquarium and they're a fantastic group of people. I'm already looking forward to topping this next year. Can we say 2000 people on the back deck for a moonlight party? 

Keep it up, Wild Tangent!

The Director Has Left the Building

"So long and thanks for all the Diet Coke..."

A lot of changes coming to the Aquarium of late, but one of the biggest has been the departure of our Director, John Braden. John began his retirement on Thursday of last week and we wish him all the best on his future adventures. 

The Aquarium at Night has only had the pleasure of working with John for a few years, but we all know him as an enthusiastic supporter of Aquarium Special Events and all that we do here at night. 

Thanks John!
