Mermaid Museum lures visitors to Westport Author: Anne Erickson, KING 5 Evening (KING 5) Published: 5:21 PM PDT April 8, 2021 Updated: 5:21 PM PDT April 8, 2021
ABERDEEN, Wash. Next time you head to Washington s coast, you may be distracted by the siren song of a new attraction.
The International Mermaid Museum just opened up on the highway between Aberdeen and Westport. This first-of-its-kind museum feels like a trip beneath the waves, right down to its sparkly ocean floor.
“Well you know as mermaids, we are just spreading glitter everywhere, it s our thing,” said Kim Roberts – the museum’s founder. Kim and her husband Blaine also co-own Westport Winery and Gardens, and they once operated Hawaii’s biggest dive shop. So taking the plunge for this latest venture came naturally.

The Pacific Northwest might seem like an unlikely place for mermaids and mermaid culture to catch on given the cold water here. Yet, putting on an eye-catching tail and pretending to be a mythical sea being is a thing across the Northwest. There s even a brand new mermaid museum near Aberdeen, Washington.
The museum s grand opening this past week accounted for multiple mermaid sightings in Grays Harbor County on the central Washington coast. One was spotted playing a harp. People observed another with a gray and white tail reclining on a mermaid throne. Yet another, get this, appeared at a book signing.
