The Young Architects Forum (YAF) promotes the professional growth and leadership development of Emerging Professionals, including early and mid-career architects and unlicensed professionals on both traditional and non-traditional career paths.
The YAF is both a place to connect socially with the design community and a venue to build leadership and advocacy skills. YAF co-presents monthly happy hours with Women in Design which are hosted by local architecture, construction, and built environment design firms, and plans tours and volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
How to Get Involved
The Young Architects Forum meets quarterly on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 5:00pm PT, with the final meeting of 2026 occurring on September 22. To receive upcoming meeting and event details, subscribe to our email list. AIA Seattle members, allied members and sponsors are encouraged to join as well as other professionals in the design community.
The Young Architects Forum serves AIA Seattle’s Member vision.
