The museum was one of Paul Allen's pet projects. The one two punch of his death and then COVID hitting is what shut the museum down.
The building is still there with everything in it (at least it looks that way from the outside), so I guess there's hope. Also, another one of Allen's projects, the Cinerama in Belltown, was also shut down around the same time and that just sold and is now re-opening soon, so I'm hoping we'll see something similar with the computer museum.
We had a friend in town who I went with and my wife had to work that day, so I told her we'd go back another time... Not sure I'll ever be able to keep that promise.
After my visit, the next time I visited my mom, I decided to finally recycle the old Gateway 2000, considering that the museum had lots of them and that they'd be good forever stewards of them. Now I'm not so sure.

I only found out about this museum during the pandemic sadly, never visited when it was open.
