INSPIRING CONSERVATION OFOUR MARINE ENVIRONMENTSTARTS WITH “INSPIRING”At the Seattle Aquarium, we work to fulfill our mission across a breadth ofprograms designed to engage and motivate all members of our community.And it all begins with inspiration.2 Seattle Aquarium 2014

Dear Friend of the Seattle Aquarium, 2014 was an action-packed year at the Aquarium, and we’re excited to share highlights in this annual report, as well as a glimpse into our developing plans for expansion. We’re actively working on our master plan, which will be presented to the Seattle City Council this summer. With seawall construction in full swing and movement on the plan to redevelop the entire central waterfront, now is the time to expand our presence as the centerpiece of Seattle’s waterfront—and enhance our place as the region’s premier platform for marine conservation awareness and education. From the board of directors, staff and nearly 1,300 volunteers, thank you for your support of the Seattle Aquarium and its mission of Inspiring Conservation of Our Marine Environment. We invite you to visit the Aquarium’s website and blog for details on any of the activities described in this report, and many others. Sincerely, Randy J.
