The Seattle Design Festival is a platform for bold design conversations. We believe that design is for everyone and that inclusive co-design practices are essential to shaping an equitable Seattle. We are multidisciplinary, socially engaged and civic minded.

Ever wondered if your feedback matters? Explore one way the Woodland Park Zoo is using feedback to improve inclusivity. Empower Stations are rest and re-charge areas that celebrate accessibility in living collections like zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens. Come interact with an Empower Station—and then provide your own feedback! What could make this better for everyone? How can the design be improved? Where else could this concept apply? Let’s create spaces that work for all people, at every stage of life.
