Answer: Remarkably Bright Creatures was filmed largely in Vancouver, British Columbia, with additional work in nearby Lions Bay and Maple Ridge, not in Washington state where the story is set.
Details:
- Primary filming location: Vancouver, BC, including the Vancouver Aquarium interior used for many aquarium scenes.[5]
- Specific shooting sites: Deep Cove neighborhood in North Vancouver was used to recreate Sowell Bay Aquarium exterior, and some interior shots occurred at the aquarium facilities in Vancouver.[1][3]
- Additional BC locales: Lions Bay and Maple Ridge were used for various sequences, supporting the coastal setting.[7][5]
Illustration (concept): Think of a real-world coastal town in British Columbia standing in for a fictional Washington coast town, with a working aquarium serving as the on-screen Sowell Bay Aquarium.[1][5]
