Any Good Museums in Washington?

    So, I am a girl in Washington State (in the puget sound islands) and I swear I was born in the wrong place. Does anyone know of any places in Washington where I can see some dinosaurs?

The Burke Museum at the University of Washington has a few. Not many, but they do have some. There might also be some at the UBC museum, but it's been a long time since I've been there, so I'm not sure.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Ya, I've been to the Burke one too many times. All they really have is a juvenile dis-proportioned allosaurus mount fighting a juvenile allosaurus. Sigh. I'll have to look up the other! Thanks! Also, they will rebuild the burke in a few years, with a big room for all of their fossils! YAY!

1 of those allosaurs should be Stegosaurus. Also, those aren't Burke's only exhibit dinos (They're hard to see in these pics, but they're there: https://letsgotothemuseum.wordpress.com/2014/10/31/burke-museum-of-natural-history-and-culture/ ). As for other WA dino museums, there's the Pacific Science Center ( https://www.pacificsciencecenter.org ).

Sorry, I meant stegosaurus. They also have a triceratops skull, but that's about it. It gets old to look at the same three dinosaurs your entire life. They have not updated it since before I was born.
