The public is not permitted in the buildings, so think of this as a park. The shoreline is extremely worthwhile. On weekdays except holidays, from 11:30 till 1:30, you can walk through a guarded gate to NOAA land from Magnuson Park's neighboring offleash area. (You will be asked for ID at this gate, presumably because it's federal land.) During business hours, NOAA is a lengthy but pleasant bus ride from downtown.
Always kind and courteous. As I wander around there, I meet some employees. I am 71 yrs old. I am so amazed at what they are working on. I live up the hill, I wish they would brief us on what they are doing there. Plus what a resource for our kids. "A prophet is without honor in his own land or neighborhood .
