Blueprints: 100 Years of Seattle Architecture
Boom and bust. Progress and preservation. World-class wants and homegrown needs. Many factors have had an effect on life in the Northwest during the past 100 years. Blueprints is a permanent exhibit illustrating the impact of architecture on the Northwest, and its relation to growth and change in the Seattle area. With an impressive collection of historical and contemporary photographs, drawings and artist renderings, original art, models, and building remnants, Blueprints reveals the sometimes complex, always fascinating, and occasionally antagonistic relationships linking designers and their projects with the churning mass of social, economic, political, and cultural forces that surround them.
 
The Blueprints exhibit is located at the SAF offices in the Rainier Square Atrium, 1333 5th Avenue, Third Level. With few exceptions, the exhibit and offices are open year-round, Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays. On occasion, staff will close the exhibit for off-site meetings. Before making a special trip to see the exhibit, please call 206.667.9184 to confirm availability. SAF will make the exhibit available during off hours by special request.
