The sanctuary also provides a list of nearby hotels and guest cottages.

The PAWS Wildlife Center outside of Seattle is the largest animal rescue and rehabilitation center the Pacific Northwest. Small groups of volunteers can participate in one-day volunteer projects to improve and upgrade animal facilities.
