The inaugural Seattle Design Festival starts this week! As part of the festival, AIGA Seattle is sponsoring Design Marks—a trail of location markers at important Seattle landmarks—and we’re one of 25 local design firms involved in the event. 

Each firm selected a landmark in downtown Seattle that has influenced the city’s culture—SC chose the historic King Street Station, which is right outside our office. Participants then designed 8-foot-tall markers exploring the impact their landmark has had on design. Each firm also created a short video to further highlight the connection between the landmark and the design culture of Seattle. 

The markers go up this week, and ours is interactive, so we need your help! Swing by King Street Station (you’ll see the marker on the corner of Jackson and 3^rd Avenue South) to check it out between September 15 and 25. And don’t forget to tour the rest of the markers, too!
