State of the Museum

The Coastal Interpretive Center’s long-range vision is to become a world-class interpretive center with high-quality programs, exhibits, and facilities where both the general public and the scientific community will feel equally engaged and empowered. To help achieve this vision, we craft five-year strategic plans to guide our efforts and annual State of the Museum reports to monitor our progress. We invite you to review our Strategic Plan and State of the Museum reports below to learn more about our efforts to educate the public about the natural and cultural history of Washington’s Pacific Coast and inspire the joy and wonder of nature.
