Testimonials from the Orca Exhibit Partners
"We are grateful to Lynda Mapes, Braided River, and The Seattle Times for bringing this complex story into focus. The writing, photographs, and illustrations will reach visitors in a new way, and help us all remember what's at stake for the orcas and for us."
— Diane Quinn, program director at Port Townsend Marine Science Center
“We’re so proud to bring forth the book, and now this exhibit that tells this essential story of our region. We share these waters with a vast array of wildlife as well as with each other. It will take all of us working together to bring our unique gifts to the table and commit to solutions to restore the Salish Sea to a healthy, intact ecosystem for our region's orca and salmon.”
— Helen Cherullo, executive director of Braided River
“We’re grateful for the partnership with The Mountaineers, Braided River and the participating marine life museums to display this exhibition. We’re pleased to see that work expand into a beautiful book and an interactive display for everyone to better understand the plight of these amazing animals.”
— Alan Fisco, president at The Seattle Times
