Named for Senator Magnuson, creative force behind the Pacific Science Center, this park is an unusual combination of scenery and science, consisting of windswept hills, a pleasant beach, a muddy dog run and a sculpture stroll. Most famous of these artworks is the Sound Garden, a hilltop collection of gently oscillating aluminum tubes that, when the wind passes over their mouths, hum hauntingly. Against the stark-mirrored walls of NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), the whole setup feels vaguely futuristic.
