Storefront Studio

Beginning as a graduate design studio, operating out of a vacant storefront on a beleaguered shopping street near campus, the studio has gone on to do work on the ‘forgotten’ American Main Streets of small communities throughout Washington State.

 

Since 2003, Storefront Studio has been working with community groups, main street associations, and local governments to collaborate on design initiatives to preserve historic town centers while also assisting in economic development. A core set of values and tools promote asset identification and planning, community engagement, and both short-term and long-term enhancements to the physical and social settings of local main streets.
