Evolution Architecture

🎉 Celebrating milestones at Evolution Architecture!

Great companies are built by great people - and we’re lucky to have some pretty great people on our team.

This month, we’re celebrating 4 Evolution team members and the years they’ve dedicated to our clients, our projects, and to helping Evolution continue to grow. 👏 Congratulations to our anniversary crew! We’re grateful for everything you bring to Evolution Architecture and excited for what’s still ahead.

What a week to be a 12! 💙💚

Fresh off the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX championship ~ and yesterday’s season-opening win ~ we’re excited to share how Evolution Architecture recently joined the NFL right here in our community.

This year, we had the privilege of joining Empower at The Bridge, The Bridge Eco-Village, NFL Community, our Seattle Seahawks and former Seahawk Legend Garry The Bridge Builder at The Red Barn Ranch in Auburn, where volunteers came together to build 16 new garden beds. The Bridge transforms underused properties into vibrant, sustainable eco-villages that bring together agriculture, affordable housing, education, innovation, commerce and community, and the Red Barn Ranch is an exciting example of that vision taking root (literally) and we’re proud to have played a small part in helping it grow.

Thank you Garry, The Bridge and everyone who came together to make the day such a success. We can’t wait to see what grows here - both in the garden beds and throughout the community.

💙💚

We’re proud to share the Evolution Architecture has been named one of the Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal 2026 Best Workplace Survey! ⭐️⭐️

The heart of our work has been its people since day 1. This is our third year in a row being recognized ~ it’s quite meaningful because it reflects how our team feels about the workplace culture we’ve built over the years.

We’re incredibly grateful for the team who makes up Evolution - thank you for making this place a great place to work - we’re excited to celebrate together!

9 Holes + Great Company ⛳

Last week, Evolution hosted our first 9-hole scramble for a group of 25 community managers, along with some of our favorite contractor and vendor partners.

It was a fun afternoon of golf, friendly competition, and a lot of time to catch up with people we enjoy working with. We wrapped up with lunch and awards before calling it a day.

⛳️ Together, we made an impact.

At Evolution Architecture’s 6th Annual Golf Invitational, we were honored to partner with and - an incredible organization dedicated to empowering youth through meaningful mentorship, trade school education, and life-changing resources.

Because of the generosity of our golfers, sponsors, and supporters, we’re thrilled to share that we raised $8,000 to benefit their meaningful work! 🎉

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s tournament. Your generosity extends far beyond the golf course and into our community - We’re grateful to play a small part in helping further their mission.
