Area Museums Educate and Entertain
If you love learning, and I hope you do, because once you stop learning, there really is no need to continue existing, then there will be plenty of museums in and around Seattle Washington that will feed the mind while entertaining you and your family. The vast number of museums in this area makes it a very interesting place to visit. There are museums here that cover everything from the Klondike Gold Rush to Log Houses and many, many things in between.
In addition to the two museums mentioned above there are several interesting museums to visit while in Seattle. The first one is the Museum of Flight. This is probably one of the museums that Seattle is most proud of. It is consistently voted one of, if not the best of its kind in the country. Learn about the history of flight and even take a ride in a flight simulator or tour the original Air Force One. No matter how you feel about flying, I'm almost certain that someone in your group (especially if there are any boys) will find this museum to be of great interest.
The Northwest Railway Museum is another museum that is not only educational but also fun for everyone in the family as well. Visit the Depot, which has been fully restored to its originally splendor or take a ride on one of the trains. Whatever you fancy, your little guy's (even your not so little guy's) eyes will light up at the idea of riding the rails. The mission of this museum is to educate the public on the vital role that railroads have played in the development of Washington State throughout history. I think they are achieving their goal quite nicely and am happy to be able to make more

of the public aware of them and their mission.
The next museum that is a little out of the ordinary and yet vastly interesting and educational is the Whale Museum. This is of particular interest if you intend to do any whale watching while you are visiting the great city of Seattle. Whale watching is always a great deal of fun and it is even more fun if you are armed with the knowledge that can be gleaned by spending a little time learning about whales at the Whale Museum before you go on your whale watching excursion.
The Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center is another of the great museums that can be found in Seattle. This museum not only offers great resources and information about the maritime history that is so important to Seattle today but interactive displays that encourage children to learn and explore by doing. This is a great place to spend the day, but pay close attention to their hours for the day you are planning to attend as this center has shorter weekday hours than most museums.
The Wing Luke Asian Museum is the only museum of its kind in the U.S. This museum is devoted to preserving and promoting Asian Pacific American culture, history, and art. This museum has a permanent exhibit that is set up to remind us of the internment camps that were used for Japanese Americans during the Second World War. I think that this, more than anything else is an important reminder and well worth the visit and there are many more exhibits that offer entertainment and education.
I hope that you will visit one or more of these great museums. I think you will be surprised to find how educational and fun they really are for the entire family.

Music Review: Rob Stone - Back Around Here
When a sideman steps out on his own, he either hogs the spotlight or values having talented friends and shares it. Rob Stone has been a sideman and played with some of the great names in blues history. He also works with the high-octane duo Chris James and Patrick Rynn. Those two now ...Music Review: Mark Olson - Many Colored Kite
For his first solo album since 2007's The Salvation Blues — as well as his first since reuniting with ex-Jayhawks partner Gary Louris for 2009's Ready For The Flood — Mark Olson seems to have rediscovered his inner romantic. Many of the songs on Many Colored Kite share the same themes of ...Concert Review: Reverend Horton Heat - Cheyenne, Wyoming, July 28, 2010
He stood on stage, fingers dancing across the fret board of his Gretsch guitar. His eyes were closed, savoring the music, enjoying the pulse of the crowd gathered to watch him and his band perform. Sweat trickled off his brow, gathering in the neck of his Panhandle Slim label western shirt. He opened ...Music Review: Robert Cray Band - Cookin' in Mobile
It's hard to imagine being a perpetually broke member of the middle class and still having more money than sense but that's the only conclusion I can draw when I do something like what I did this week. Dave Ramsey would probably spontaneously combust if he saw what I spend a month on music and ...Music Review: Curtis Fuller - I Will Tell Her
Curtis Fuller's wife of 34 years passed away a few weeks before I Will Tell Her was completed. The recording is dazzling, a vibrant outing for the trombonist created with delight and passion for the art form, but it's also a loving dedication to his wife. It manages a joy that, given the circumstances ...Music Review: The Definitive Collection of Federal Records (1964-1982)
This two-disc compilation covers the output of Federal Records from the mid-sixties through the early eighties. The label was founded by Kenneth Khouri in the early sixties. Khouri got his start in the 1950s cutting singles of mento records, and was on the front lines as ska exploded and then evolved ...CD Review: Khari - Victory (Spoken Word)
While shooting the breeze with a friend in Second Life about two years ago, I was given a link to the poet Khari Toure's MySpace page where I immediately fell in love with the tracks "Beauty Queen" and "Thickness," two tracks he streamed for free. This began a passionate appreciation and love of Khari's ...Music Review: Aaron Peta - I’m Not A Hipster
Look at the cover to Aaron Peta’s debut disc, I’m Not A Hipster, with the New York-based singer/songwriter dressed in outsized sunglasses and a gleaming silver jumpsuit, and your first response is “Not a hipster? Truer words were never written.” This guy looks too nerdy to be ...
