Weber Thompson Washington State's largest majority women-owned architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and planning firm located in Seattle, WA.

Weber Thompson was founded in 1988 as an architectural firm focused primarily on urban infill, mixed-use projects. The firm has since evolved into a highly-diversified design agency with capabilities in four complementary design disciplines: Architecture, Interior Design, Community Design and Landscape Architecture. With special attention to our client's vision, the environment, and careful collaboration between client and design/construction teams, our primary objective is to design exceptional, sustainable projects that help our clients find success.

A new 369-unit apartment building might seem like an unlikely good neighbor to its nearby single-family neighborhood. But Modera Bridle Trails manages just that. Through intentional design moments around the exterior of the building, mature plantings that echo the adjacent Bridle Trails State Park, elevated interior design with a strong art program, and a stormwater strategy that solves long-standing flooding issues with a large detention vault, this LEED Platinum project acts as a good neighbor in multiple ways.

We’re excited to see these integrated design disciplines (all by WT!) come together in a project that celebrates it setting.

It’s always a good day when we get to talk about timber and the benefits it can bring to the built environment.

We recently had the privilege of welcoming architecture instructors from across the country to Northlake Commons as part of a four day Timber Architecture Development Workshop hosted by Think Wood and UW’s Center for Timber Innovation in the Built Environment (CTIBE).

We had some great conversations and answered questions about the ideas behind the design, as well as timber’s beauty and biophilic qualities. These faculty members are helping shape the next generation of architects and builders, and we hope those conversations will inspire more students to think deeply about timber’s role in the future of design.

Thank you to Think Wood and College of Built Environments CTIBE, Tyler Sprague for inviting us to be a part of this workshop!

As you pass the brand-new Modera Bridle Trails, the project feels as if it’s been there for years, thanks to the thoughtful intention behind its landscape design. Using mature plantings that blend naturally with the surrounding woodlands, the lush setting creates a welcoming experience from day one while supporting biodiversity.

Another fun feature is the five animal sculptures by artist Georgia Ge**er(Georgia Ge**er) sprinkled throughout the public plazas. Inspired by the wildlife found in nearby Bridle Trails State Park, the sculptures add a playful connection to the natural character of the neighborhood.

Interior designer Monica Knapp knows it’s all about the Baby Boomers when it comes to senior living design. With the oldest Boomers turning 80 and demand for senior housing on the rise, it’s worth asking: who exactly are we designing for? In her recent article, “Designing for Quality of Life and Creating Spaces for All Generations,” Monica discusses how designing for residents and the people who love them can create spaces that bring families together, encourage longer visits, and support healthier, happier lives. 🔗Link in bio

Designing with family in mind: Designing senior living spaces with family in mind creates an environment that feels welcoming not just for residents, but for the people who love and support them.

The power of informal caregiving: Family members notice the little things, lend a hand when it’s needed, and advocate for their loved ones. These everyday moments of care can play an important role in supporting health and well-being.

The comfort of connection: Knowing family is close can give older adults a greater sense of security, confidence, and resilience. Strong relationships can help residents navigate life’s challenges while maintaining a sense of independence.

Making visits feel joyful: When visiting feels easy, comfortable, and enjoyable, families are more likely to make time for each other. And those regular moments of connection can become an important part of a resident’s happiness, well-being, and quality of life.

A new mixed-use development bringing affordable homes to Issaquah is underway!

We recently celebrated the groundbreaking of Trailhead Apartments alongside community members, elected officials, and project partners. Developed by King County Housing Authority, the eight-story community will provide homes for households earning up to 40% and 60% of Issaquah’s Area Median Income (AMI). The project will feature a mix of family-sized apartments and supportive amenities, including a 10,000-square-foot Opportunity Center and co-living homes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities operated by Life Enrichment Options (LEO).

Trailhead is part of a broader mixed-income community that includes market-rate housing (developed separately). By embracing the adjacent wetland with a multimodal pedestrian path and courtyards overlooking the natural landscape, the development creates a vibrant, walkable neighborhood centered around transit access and community connection.

We were grateful for the invitation to visit the Studio Pacifica Ltd office to present a workshop titled “The Architecture of Communication: A Celebration of Identity & Narrative,” which explored the deep connection between Deaf history, visual communication, and the built environment.

Led by our Senior Project Architect, Benjamin Hait AIA, alongside Deaf architectural designer Jennifer Harris, the workshop encouraged us to move beyond conventional compliance, framing communication as a shared environment designed and built together.

Through the lens of Deaf culture, ASL spatial classifiers, and DeafSpace Design principles, we explored how centering lived experience can spark spatial creativity and elevate design quality across all project types.

A big thank you to Studio Pacifica for bringing us together for this meaningful conversation and inspired dialogue!

Big news in our Fremont community! Salesforce’s Tableau business has renewed its lease at Data 1, marking Seattle’s largest office lease renewal this year.

“Tableau’s renewal in Fremont puts a bright spotlight on how neighborhood based commercial office projects are a big part of Seattle’s future. Woven into a thriving community, these high performance buildings walk the talk of a sustainable future and provide restorative workplaces not only for employees but for our broader local ecology.” Kristen Scott, Managing Partner & Senior Principal.

Completed in 2017, Data 1 is LEED Gold and Salmon-Safe certified. Phase 1 of the Aurora Bridge Swales is located along Troll Avenue outside the building and cleans more than 200,000 gallons of stormwater runoff annually. The project has also been recognized with numerous industry awards.

Congratulations to HessCallahanGrey Group and our project partners for creating a workplace that reflects the energy and creativity that continue to define the “Center of the Universe.”

Thank you to Pizza By Ruffin (Pizza By Ruffin) and Umami Kushi (Umami Kushi) for catering our office luncheon in honor of Juneteenth. Our team came together to reflect on the holiday and support Black-owned businesses in our community, with some seriously good eats. Be sure to check them out!

The first Black-owned pizzeria in Washington state, Pizza By Ruffin is a Black, woman, and veteran-owned business. Owners Isaiah Ruffin and Colleen Constant serve pizza al taglio – “pizza by the cut” – specializing in toppings and flavors that reflect the Black diaspora, from Ethiopian Dorowat to Jamaican curry.

From high volume restaurants to the around-the-corner Japanese izaka-ya, Chef Harold Fields loves food and the cultures behind them. He brings 12 well-rounded cooking years to his catering company. Umami Kushi is based on traditional Japanese techniques and food preparations which he was taught but also incorporates flavors representative of the Northwest.
