The Washington State History Museum is located in downtown Tacoma, Washington. It is owned and operated by the Washington State Historical Society under the official approval of the Washington State Legislature.

The top floor of the museum contains a "history lab" where visitors can experience and learn about history in a more hands-on fashion.
