Our mission

The Bayside Motor Museum celebrates the Pacific Northwest’s automotive heritage through dynamic storytelling, community engagement, and a living, evolving display of vehicles in motion. We exist to inspire connection, creativity, and curiosity — one engine, one story, and one drive at a time.

Our Vision

To be the most engaging, forward-thinking automotive museum in the United States and beyond. This is a place where exhibits are driven, stories are shared, and culture is not curated, but it is created. We will serve as a creator hub—in and outside of the car space—and gathering place, transforming automotive history into a living, shared experience for all.

Why Should You Support the Bayside Motor Museum?

This is more than a museum. The Bay will be a vibrant, community-powered landmark that preserves automotive heritage, fuels creativity across generations, and offers donors a chance to be part of building something lasting, inclusive, and truly unique to the Pacific Northwest.

A space for creative energy — from screenwriters to photographers, from mechanics to musicians.

More Than Metal

We believe cars carry culture. From road trips to race day, cars connect us to who we are and where we've been.
