2025 AIA Seattle Parti

Come celebrate our AIA Seattle member community!
Each year, AIA Seattle celebrates leadership and achievement in design and the built environment at the local and national level through its member awards program, PARTI. Honorees are nominated by their peers and selected by the Fellows & Honors Committee each year to acknowledge excellence and strengthen ties between architects and the many professions that partner with them to make a difference through design.
