How do I find a good architect in Seattle?

To find a good architect in Seattle, search for architects online. Look for firms and professionals who have a solid work history and mostly positive customer reviews. Narrow your search by determining what kind of architect you need for your project: a landscape architect, a large firm or an individual freelancer. 

Next, contact at least three or five architects and ask for free cost estimates. Before you hire, ask for proof of business insurance and licensure. You can learn more about architect licensing requirements by visiting the Washington State Department of Licensing.
