Seattle Architecture Foundation Born from a love of Seattle’s built environment nearly 50 years ago.

Today, we’re a nonprofit connecting people to the architecture, design & stories that shape our city—and inspiring a deeper understanding of the places shaping its future. SAF provides architectural walking tours, youth and family programs, exhibits, and public programs that connect you the architecture and design of your dynamic city.

Step beneath the canopy and discover one of Seattle’s most beautifully preserved neighborhoods. 🌳🏡

This Saturday, stroll the tree-lined streets of Mt. Baker and uncover the design and stories that shaped this serene corner of the city.

With nearly 90% of its original homes built before 1929 still standing, Mt. Baker offers a remarkable glimpse into early Seattle—from classic homes and winding boulevards to the landscape that gives the neighborhood its distinctive character.

If you love tree-lined walks, beautiful historic homes, and discovering the stories behind Seattle’s neighborhoods, you won’t want to miss this tour.

What a night! 🏙️✨

We kicked off SAF’s 2027 Annual Campaign, *Discover What Shapes Seattle*, with a rooftop full of friends, partners, and supporters—and a Seahawks win to help set the tone for the season. 💙💚

We’re carrying that same energy forward as we build momentum for another impactful year at SAF.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, celebrated with us, and continues to invest in the stories, programs, and experiences that connect people to Seattle’s built environment.

The campaign is officially underway. Let’s make it a great one.

This evening is about more than celebrating another year. It’s a chance to bring together the volunteers, supporters, partners, friends, architects, designers, and Seattle enthusiasts who make our work possible—and to celebrate the shared curiosity about our city that connects us.

And we have a pretty great night in store.
