Many of the new principals will continue to support the firm's recent joint venture with HAYA Architects, an architecture and design firm in Beijing. Those promoted in the Seattle office to principal and their market specialties are: Darryl Custer, Peter Krech and Michael Lee, China commercial; John Jex and Leonard Ruff, North America commercial; and Carolyn Jones, Mike Riggs, Paul Scanlon, Dave Scurlock and Alex Shapleigh, global retail.
