For more than 100 years, Children’s has been delivering superior patient care and advancing new treatments through pediatric research.

Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society

The Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society set sail in 1948 and is an active participant in preserving the region’s maritime community. The Society’s mission is to create appreciation of the Puget Sound region’s maritime past in order to better understand the present. To that end, the Society maintains in Seattle a collection of ship models and other maritime artifacts, as well as historic photos, ship’s plans, and books.  

The Society has been a partner with Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry for over 50 years, and is currently raising funds to establish a maritime exhibit in MOHAI’s new facility at the Naval Armory on Lake Union. The new facility is currently scheduled to open for viewings in 2012.

Puget SoundKeeper Alliance

Puget Soundkeeper Alliance (PSA) conducts multiple cleanup events every year, involving hundreds of volunteers from dozens of workplaces and organizations.  Focusing on waterways and shorelines, PSA volunteers clean beaches, paddle kayaks to find trash in hard to reach spots, and tow large debris safely to shore with larger boats.

Despite much focus on toxic pollution and habitat restoration, litter and solid waste are a real problem for waterways.  More than just unsightly, litter and debris (especially plastic and styrofoam) create problems for fish and wildlife.  Through ingestion, strangulation, entrapment and injury, marine debris kills and injures thousands of animals every year.  Due to the long life of these products, litter and debris will continue to harm the environment until someone comes along to clean up the mess.
