The Promise of City Life

Thank you for your interest in Allied Arts of Seattle. 

Our mission is to enhance the cultural livability of Seattle and to create a social network of people who care about the Arts, Urban Design and Historic Preservation.

Allied Arts History

Allied Arts is best known as the organization that worked to save Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, as well as to establish the Seattle Arts Commission. In 2005, Allied Arts launched the Waterfront for All campaign, a vision for the next great civic space in Seattle.

Since 1954, we’ve collaborated with an array of civic leaders and organizations to help maintain and improve Seattle’s quality of urban life.
