Seattle Happy Places Map
Seattle Happy Places is an invitation to be present and recognize places that bring happiness. Good design evokes feelings of calm, wonder, and inspiration. In marking these places on a map and by sharing images of these places through social media, the larger Seattle community can help us celebrate these under-appreciated places where design has brought joy. It is about the present and thinking about the future. This initiative is made possible in some ways by the time we are in, and creates a memory of this period in the form of a map.
This project was developed for the 2020 Seattle Design Festival in partnership with the 2020 Changemakers Series, an initiative from AIGA Seattle, reflecting on this year's theme of Mental Health.
