2027 Annual Campaign
The city is always changing. The stories behind it matter.
Seattle's architecture tells the story of who we are, where we've been, and the communities we're becoming. Discover how Seattle Architecture Foundation is bringing these stories to life—and how your investment can make an impact.
Seattle Architecture Foundation | 2027 Annual Campaign
Seattle is a city of extraordinary places and remarkable stories. From the landmarks that define our skyline to the neighborhoods, public spaces, and everyday buildings that connect us, architecture reveals the people, ideas, and decisions that have shaped our city.
At Seattle Architecture Foundation (SAF), we believe understanding these stories creates a deeper connection to the places we share.
Through walking tours, educational programs, and community experiences, SAF invites people of all ages to discover Seattle's built environment, explore its history, and consider how design influences our lives.
Our 2027 Annual Campaign, Discover What Shapes Seattle, is an invitation to invest in that work—and help bring these experiences to more people throughout our community.
A Growing Community. A Lasting Impact.
More people than ever are discovering Seattle through SAF. Over the past two years, we've expanded our reach, welcomed new audiences, and created more opportunities for people to connect with the city's architecture and design.
Our Impact at a Glance
- 50% growth in walking tour participation since 2024
- 285% growth in public program attendance since 2024
- 1,819 walking tour participants in 2026
- 598 public program participants in 2026
- 75 active volunteers bringing our mission to life
Behind these numbers are thousands of opportunities to discover something new, see a familiar place differently, and engage more deeply with Seattle.
