What we’re about
Bringing together people interested in cryonics and other forms of metabolic arrest for future revival.
Formerly known as Seattle Cryonics, we’ve joined forces with fellow biostasis enthusiasts across Oregon and Washington to form Biostasis Pacific Northwest — a regional community led by Aschwin de Wolf and Nikki Olson.
The Pacific Northwest has become one of the world’s most active centers for biostasis, and Seattle continues to play a key role in that momentum. Local activities now connect with a broader regional network through tours, talks, and speaker events that explore the science and practice of preservation and revival.
Be part of conversations, visits, and gatherings that mix science, inspiration, and good company.

Tour Sparks Brain Preservation
Location not specified yetWe have a special event planned for this quarter’s meetup — a group visit to Sparks Brain Preservation to tour the facility and speak with founder Jordan Sparks and neuroscientist Andy McKenzie.
This is a crossover event with biostasis enthusiasts across the Pacific Northwest, and you can expect to meet new people from the region, including cryonics members from the Portland area.
Sparks Brain Preservation (formerly Oregon Cryonics) has been operating in Salem, OR since 2005 and currently performs both chemopreservation and cryopreservation: https://sparksbrain.org/services.html
If you’re interested in traveling down by car with others, we have several drivers with space available. We don’t want transportation to be a barrier to attending, so please reach out on this platform or email info@biostasis-pnw.org if you’d like to coordinate a ride.
If you plan to travel on your own, the official tour will run from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Several members also plan to stay overnight in Portland, with informal social events afterward for anyone who wants to join.
