Take a walking tour with SAF!
Join us Saturdays and select Fridays at 10:00 a.m. to explore Seattle, discover the stories of our built environment, and experience the design that shapes our city.
Welcome to the Seattle Architecture Foundation
Seattle's architecture tells the story of our city. It reflects our history, celebrates innovation, and shapes the places where we live, work, play, and gather. Every design decision leaves a lasting mark, influencing the character of our neighborhoods, strengthening our communities, and creating new possibilities for Seattle's future.
Through engaging tours, educational programs, exhibits, and community experiences, the Seattle Architecture Foundation invites people to discover the influence of design and deepen their connection to Seattle's built environment.

Thank You To Our
Diamond Sponsors & Grant Makers
The Seattle Architecture Foundation (SAF) is a local non-profit that offers a range of imaginative programs, making architecture fun and relatable to people of all ages and backgrounds. Our goal is to celebrate Seattle’s rich architectural heritage and encourage people to get involved in shaping our city’s future. SAF provides architectural tours, programs for youth and families, exhibits and special events. Our programs are made possible by the generous support of individuals, corporate sponsors, and grant makers.
Seattle Architecture Foundation respectfully acknowledges that we are on Indigenous land of the traditional territories of the Duwamish and Suquamish people and Coast Salish people. Through partnerships and programs, we honor our ongoing connection to these communities past, present, and future. This acknowledgment does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities, but serves as a first step in honoring the land we are on.
The Seattle Architecture Foundations offers a variety of exceptional programs and experiences for all ages that connect people to the architecture, design, and history of Seattle.
Our enthusiastic guides are excited to share their knowledge with the goal of facilitating a better understanding of architecture, landscape, and urban design practices that shape our cities.
The important work of the Seattle Architecture Foundation (SAF) relies on the generosity of its members and supporters. By supporting SAF, members receive benefits and provide a valuable resource that helps shape our community.
