Nearly 60 projects by women architects from Seattle were on display last night at the University of Washington at an event organized by the Seattle Chapter of the American Institute of Architects' Diversity Roundtable and the Association for Women in Architecture.

The event honored the work of architects at about 35 firms on projects that include Seattle City Hall, Lake Sammamish State Park, Swedish Orthopedic Institute and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
