A Portal to 21st Century Partnerships
The PNNL-Seattle campus is located in the heart of Seattle’s South Lake Union, alongside leading tech companies, research institutions, and universities. PNNL-Seattle provides a portal to national laboratory staff, facilities, and equipment solving some of the nation’s most pressing issues. Through its geographic diversity PNNL is maximizing scientific impact through increased access to people, capabilities, and partners required to solve 21st-century problems in data science, cybersecurity, software engineering, energy systems engineering, earth and coastal systems science, nuclear nonproliferation policy, and more.
PNNL-Seattle’s presence dates back more than 40 years, when we focused initially on nonproliferation policy. Today, PNNL-Seattle is home to researchers, analysts, and policy experts spanning the national security, energy, and environmental mission space and bringing scientific discovery and innovation.
Situated in Seattle’s bustling Innovation District, PNNL-Seattle has more than 300 employees, interns, and post-graduate research associates. We leverage our location to increase our mission impact through regional sponsor engagement, research collaboration with private sector and academic institutions, and recruiting top talent.
