For a long time Steve and I have been wanting to go to the Westport Maritime Museum but never did due to always having the dogs with us but finally we made it here quite recently. The admission is $5 and that gives you the ability to explore the upstairs and downstairs of the main museum building, an adjacent building where a lighthouse lens is located and two other structures with large windows with whale bones housed inside them along with some other mammal bones. The cost of admission is totally worth with what you get to see and for me the main highlight was the lighthouse lens as I'm sure it was for a lot of visitors. Lots of clutter picked up from the ocean waters and used as artifacts which is fascinating (because a lot of this stuff came from various parts of Asia) and disturbing at the same time. Lots of other intriguing content to look at as well and a very nice gift shop. Great way to spend a bit of time while exploring the marina. I don't feel like you'd spend an enormous amount of time here. Maybe an hour to an hour and a half but it depends on your pacing but no need to wipe out a whole afternoon to fit this museum in.

If you ever get a chance to tour or sail aboard this tall ship do it! "Computer, remove the plank!"

While passing through Aberdeen, I decided to do a mini Nirvana pilgrimage and check out the town that Kurt Cobain grew up in. After spending time at Kurt Cobain Memorial Park near Young Street Bridge, I walked over to his childhood home. The house is just around the corner. It has been refurbished and it is gated off. Someone else currently lives here, so all that you can do is take photos from the sidewalk. Cool historic place to check out, especially if you grew up a Nirvana fan like me. But there is not much else to see or do.

Kurt Cobain was born and grew up in the Washington coast harbor town of Aberdeen WA. This is where…read morehe lived from 1968 to 1984. It was purchased by Lee and Danielle Bacon in 2018 from the Cobain family. They paid $225,000...a bargain considering that the cardigan Cobain wore in 1993 on the set of "MTV Unplugged" sold at auction for $334,000. The Bacons have restored the home to appear as it would have while Cobain lived there. At the time of this review, you cannot go inside, but plans are in the works to make private tours available in the near future. Tours will begin about 1.5 miles away at a soon to be opened Nirvana tribute lounge and gallery cafe as zoning does not allow the home to operate as a traditional museum. It's great to see Aberdeen finally beginning to embrace Cobain's contribution to music history. Fans travel great distances from all around the world to find Cobain's beginnings and pay tribute in the town that helped to shape him. Just a few days prior to writing this review, the Aberdeen City Council unanimously voted to make February 20th (Cobain's birthday) Kurt Cobain Day.

We talked for ages, he shared with us his passion for wildlife, gave us background information on nearly everything in the aquarium, and set us up for a fun little exploratory venture. After we got our little cup of shrimp, we were off - we fed the fish and the ducks, read every little piece of information available, and checked in with Mark anytime we wanted to learn a little more. You could be in and out of here in a matter of minutes, but we took our time and enjoyed this quaint, local, and loved aquarium for what it is.

I have been waiting to write this review! I live near the Westport Winery but have never…read morebeen...until today. My friend and I came here to shop, try some wine and get lunch and we did all three! Firstly, the gift shop is superb and right when you enter. It has a ton of different dips, mixes, olive oils, treats and things for dogs, and gadgets! To the right of the sho is the tasting room with a huge bar in the center where you can do your wine and spirit tastings! My friend bought a bottle of their wine after we tried some and the customer service and town locals were chatting away and engaging in conversation, they were so friendly and helpful. To the left, you are greeted at the hostess stand along with their amazing bakery items which you should note are DEFINITELY worth the money. IYKYK. We got seated quickly and were given a choice on where. We chose the back room close to the electric fireplaces. Our waiter greeted us promptly and his name is Bob I cannot say enough wonderful things about this man who owned 3 steakhouses in Seattle! He was kind, he was quick witted, he was informative when it came to how the wine flights worked and the food. He kept up with us ordering appetizers, drinks and even more food! For our appetizers we got the beach bread and mermaids on horseback which were bacon wrapped shrimp with a pineapple sauce (YUM) I got the Shrimp Pesto Ravioli and my friend got the Farmers Favorite which is a French dip with house made potato salad. Everything was super fresh, hot and delicious! We can't way to come back and try more!

I like the mini museum within the area because it provided history lessons from different parts of the world and various cultures. I did not realize that mermaid history runs that deep! I like that there was a staff member to give handouts on what to check out at this venue, too, right before you go to park in the lot because it made you look forward to your time spent here. Parking was not bad when I went on the weekend, too...and it was free! I will say that it was overpriced with the food as I spent $36 on coleslaw and fried halibut. They have huckleberry goodies available here, but nothing with chocolate, unfortunately... the winery was neat to check out, too, and there is a bar that you could stop by to try the specialty wines. I did not try it out, but it was pretty of sight when I strolled around there. The vineyard was small, yes, but I like that there were benches to sit on and multiple paths to walk around that ultimately led to an abundance of artistic pieces from the local community in Aberdeen. I thought that the horse , or unicorn !!!, stable was available as a mini petting zoo because the kids were most excited about that. Couple of vendors here, but they lacked enthusiasm... nonetheless, glad that I came here to see what this festival was about because I was recommended to check it out when I researched online about things to do in Washington state

I was 16 when Nirvana made it big and wil always feel a connection with the band and the place they originated from for several reasons i can't get into now. This was the first year we were able to visit the museum since it opened a year ago. Last time I was there there was just a mural but now it was a full fleshed museum full of decent Kurt related artifacts and a great giftshop for grunge fans.(left with several books and tshirts based on vintage band tshirts Kurt wore). The artifacts were great but the experience wouldn't be half as amazing without the very insightfull tour guide. i have read 15 grunge books, 4 nirvana books, and it was stil full of inside knowledge I had never heard about. On top of that it was so amazing to hear the owners and people work there talk about their common pasion for everything grunge and Kurt Cobain. Talking to them really lifted to whole experience and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. Looking forward to going back next year to see what they added and do the tour of the Cobains resedence. I love their sincerity, pasion and heart they bring to this
