Local Community Tours on May 14 – 17
The Cohousing Summit: Seattle is a one-day gathering for anyone drawn to deeper connection – whether you live in community, are working to create one, or are simply curious about new models of living well together. The summit explores how cohousing and other community-rooted housing approaches can strengthen belonging, expand housing options, and support people across all stages of life.
With interactive breakout sessions, thoughtful conversations, and plenty of time to connect, the day is designed to offer both practical learning and a strong sense of community. The summit is co-chaired by Grace Kim—renowned architect, TED speaker, and co-founder of Schemata Workshop—and Mike Mariano, co-owner of Schemata Workshop. The event will also feature optional tours of Seattle-area communities before and after the summit.
What to Expect:
Practical skills and inspiration to bring your community dreams to life
A panel of experts exploring cohousing, pocket neighborhoods, co-ops & more
12 breakout sessions packed with practical tools and expert advice
Connection with community builders, professionals & curious newcomers
