Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest is the only home for chimpanzees in the state of Washington! CSNW was founded in 2003 to provide sanctuary for chimpanzees discarded from the entertainment and biomedical testing industries. The sanctuary also cares for rescued cows who provide grazing services on the 114 acre property in exchange for our affection and occasional treats.
All of the chimpanzees at CSNW enjoy a rich social life in exciting indoor and outdoor environments where they have choices to make every day. Each day brings new adventures, and we chronicle their transformations and experiences on our blog: chimpsnw.org/blog
