Seattle Aquarium's $170 million Ocean Pavilion set for summer debut
The Seattle Aquarium on Tuesday announced the new Ocean Pavilion will open Aug. 29.
The $170 million project is a key component of the city's Waterfront Park, which is scheduled for completion early next year.

It adds that pavilion visitors will "discover the wonders of a reef ecosystem in the Coral Triangle — a region in the Indo-Pacific so rich in biodiversity that it’s referred to as 'the Amazon of the ocean.'”
The pavilion will have 3,500 animals and plants, including sharks, rays, bowmouth guitarfish, schooling fish, seahorses, mangroves and nearly 30 species of coral among other features, according to the release.
