Every September, the Seattle Design Festival brings together designers, community members, experts, and city officials to celebrate and explore how design improves the quality of our lives and our community. Every year the Festival grows, and it is now the largest design-related event in the Pacific Northwest.
2017 was the year of POWER. From September 9-22, the Seattle Design Festival brought together groups, organizations, and individuals from our region and across the globe to explore the POWER of design in our changing world.
