Looking towards the future...
KidsQuest is moving forward. After seven years in South Bellevue’s Factoria
Mall, KidsQuest needs a bigger and more permanent home for long-term
sustainability. KidsQuest has a fundraising goal to purchase the recently closed
Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art in downtown Bellevue, with plans to move
in 2015.
Why?
• Early learning has become a statewide priority - less than 50% of kids in
Washington State begin kindergarten with the skills needed to be successful
• Built for 60,000 annual visitors, KidsQuest now hosts over 165,000
• KidsQuest’s rent-free lease ended in 2010, making our current location
unaffordable
• Large crowds and a single classroom prevent us from responding to the
community’s needs
• The new museum will be close to the Bellevue Regional Library, local parks,
and Bellevue’s downtown core
• Already a regional resource for STEAM education, KidsQuest will have the
opportunity to offer expanded programming:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Rotating and traveling exhibits
Outdoor space
Multi-generational programming
Early learning and school-age exhibits
Multiple classes at the same time
Visiting experts
We look forward to many more years of creating
learning through the power of play!
Good to
Grow
