Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2021 Seattle Design Festival Block Party!
Every year, the Seattle Design Festival brings together designers, community members, experts, city officials, and business leaders to celebrate and explore how design improves the quality of our lives and our community.
2021 was the year of EMERGE. Our community gathered at Lake Union Party on August 21 &22 for a two-day Block Party to explore what we, as a community, are emerging to as our community heals- as we navigate changed perspectives- and as we think about new ways to leverage design.
The Seattle Design Festival is truly a community-powered effort, so thank you to everyone who attended, partnered, volunteered, and otherwise joined us in making the 2021 Seattle Design Festival a resounding success!
