Upcoming Events
From beach cleanups to livestream events to our annual community open house, you’re invited to join us to learn more and take action for marine wildlife in the Pacific Northwest.
Community Open House
Have you wondered what lies behind our fence? Come to the SR3 Rescue Center Open House on May 2nd! Swing by between 10am and 2pm to take a tour of the facility and ask staff and volunteers questions about rehabilitating marine mammals.
This is a family-friendly event, and there will be activities for youth as well as a chance to shop our adoption kits, t-shirts and other merchandise in person. Tours take approximately 30 minutes.
Please note that animal viewing will not be part of the tour, but there will still be plenty to see, from our surgical room to our fish kitchen! Pets are not allowed, so please leave your furry family members at home.
