Pacific Science Center dedication plaque

This plaque is on the outside of the PACCAR IMAX theatre and it memorizes the transfer of ownership of the Pacific Science Center grounds, following the 1962 World's Fair. It reads:

"PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER: On October 26, 1974, these magnificent buildings and grounds formerly owned by the federal government officially became the property of the Pacific Science Center Foundation to hold in trust for the benefit of the people of the Pacific Northwest community and the people of the United States.

"Managed by a non-profit foundation, the Science Center is dedicated to increasing public understanding and appreciation of science and technology. This institution depends upon both public and private funds for support."
