What invisible traces shape your experience of Seattle?
Traces We Leave Behind: Mapping the Invisible City is a hands-on participatory design experience where Festival-goers collectively map how they move through, connect with, and imagine Seattle. Using colorful thread and symbols, participants will trace daily commutes, favorite gathering places, wellness routes, and spaces of belonging while identifying transit challenges and imagining what paths the city still needs.
What route shapes your day? What place feels like home? What path is still missing?
