VISITORS ENCOUNTER THE WOODLANDS ADVENTURES GALLERY, WHICH INCLUDES A WALK-THROUGH TREE INSPIRED BY THE HISTORIC SNOHOMISH BICYCLE TREE. CHILDREN USE THEIR IMAGINATIONS TO CAMP, FISH, BOAT, OBSERVE LOCAL WILDLIFE AND TAKE ON THE ROLE OF VETERINARIANS IN THE WILDLIFE ANIMAL RESCUE, REHABILITATING ANIMALS FOR RELEASE BACK INTO THE WILD. A CLIMB FROM THE FOREST FLOOR LEADS TO ADVENTURES IN THE WOODLANDS CANOPY WHERE CHILDREN NAVIGATE BRIDGES AND PASSAGES IN THE TREETOPS. LOOKOUT STATIONS PROVIDE CLIMBERS WITH CHANCES TO SPOT LOCAL WILDLIFE. ON THE SECOND FLOOR, IN THE PUGET SOUND ECOSYSTEM GALLERY KIDS BECOME MARINE ECOLOGISTS EXPLORING AN INTERTIDAL AQUARIUM, WATERSHED TABLE AND REAL GRAY WHALE BONES. THEY GET TO USE THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS TO SOLVE CHALLENGES IN OUR ENGINEER IT GALLERY. OUTSIDE THIS GALLERY IS A LIFE-SIZE CRANE CAB "HIGH ABOVE THE STREETS BELOW" WHERE THEY WILL LEARN WHAT ITS LIKE TO OPERATE A CRANE. IN THE WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION GALLERY, PACKAGES COME AND GO ON CONVEYANCE SYSTEMS AND CHILDREN LEARN WHAT IT TAKES TO GET A PACKAGE FROM IMAGINE TO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, SELECTING DESTINATIONS AND DETERMINING THE MOST EFFICIENT MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. IN IMAGINE'S TINKER SHOP AND ART HANGOUT, CHILDREN HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CREATE AND CONSTRUCT. THE IMPORT, EXPORT, OUR PORT GALLERY FEATURES EVERETT'S INTERNATIONAL WATER PORT, HIGHLIGHTING A 20-FT. TUGBOAT. ON THE THIRD FLOOR IS THE MULTI-PURPOSE AUDITORIUM THAT HOSTS CULTURAL PERFORMANCES AND POP-UP FESTIVALS AND ALSO SERVES AS AN EATING SPACE AND HOUSES DIVY'S FOOD TRUCK.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
