<br />While our advertising is directed toward the Seattle -Tacoma area market and
<br />Eastern Washington, along with Portland, Oregon, social media marketing is wider
<br />spread through organic posts and shares. By engaging those around the
<br />community, word of mouth is spread about the museum making us a destination
<br />instead of an add-on. Through also participating in local events and activities,
<br />including having exhibits, we add a value to ongoing efforts and activities which
<br />might draw people into the Museum or add to their experience.
