A couple of weekends ago, on Smithsonian Museum Day, I went to the Museum of History & Industry in South Lake Union. I had never been there before and it’s been on my list of places to visit. Since museum admission was free that day, I thought I would see what the museum had to offer.
MOHAI is a history museum that focuses primarily on the history of Seattle and the greater Puget Sound area. It was previously located in the Montlake neighborhood but it moved to its current location at the former Naval Reserve Armory in Lake Union Park in 2012.
The building the museum is housed in is a three-story building. Each floor is filled with exhibits and photographs and relics of Seattle’s history. Most of the displays are in chronological history, depicting everything from the first settlers in the area to the tech boom of Microsoft and Amazon. I enjoyed viewing all the exhibits and learning more about the history of Seattle and the Puget Sound area.
