Undersea Gardens

Up along the front end is this local flair photo, showing something I didn't realize existed until this point -- the Seattle Undersea Gardens! Undersea Gardens was a weird underwater aquarium thing that had a few locations built in the 60s, with the best known ones being in Victoria, BC (the original) and Newport, Oregon (which lasted the longest, until a few years ago). Back when I was younger and it was much easier (and cheaper) to go to Canada, we took the ferry across from Port Angeles to Victoria often and walked by the Undersea Gardens there, but never went in -- none of us were interested at the time, though now that none of them are left, I kind of wish I had visited it at least once. There's virtually no information on the Seattle location, which only lasted a few years, though apparently it ended up being reused in some way as part of the even more tourist-trap looking Ocean World in California. (The tower is definitely still present there, but I'm not sure how much of the original setup remains.)
