Please register prior your arrival. Otherwise, give yourself additional time to arrive and check in manually at our Auditorium's south entrance.
Parking information for Montlake Laboratory
The NWFSC's Montlake Laboratory is located at 2725 Montlake Blvd. East in Seattle, WA. We are a closed campus, therefore public visitors are invited to park vehicles at the neighboring Seattle Yacht Club (1807 E. Hamlin Street) and enter our campus through the west pedestrian gate. At the yacht club, park vehicles in the first two rows closest to our campus, and follow the signage through the pedestrian gate to the Auditorium.

About Monster Seminar Jam
The NWFSC Monster Seminar Jam is a weekly seminar with presentations by Center scientists and guest speakers, and touches on variety of research fields, including landscape ecology, community ecology, genetics, wildlife biology, systematics, marine ecology, conservation biology, population biology and numerical modeling. Demonstrated applications included recovery planning, design of marine protected areas, fisheries management, marine mammal conservation, stock assessment, anthropogenic impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, policy and decision making, and sociopolitical and socioeconomic impacts of management actions.
The NWFSC Monster Seminar Jam is also part of the OneNOAA Science Discussion Seminar Series, a joint effort by several NOAA seminar partners to pool seminars of common interest to help share science and management information and to promote constructive dialogue between scientists, educators, and resource managers.
