Celebrating Barney

1985–2025

The Seattle Aquarium remembers Barney the harbor seal, a beloved member of the Aquarium family for nearly 40 years. As a charismatic ambassador for his species, he inspired a lot of love for his fellow harbor seals. He passed in March 2025, but his memory lives on in the hearts of Aquarium staff, volunteers and visitors.
