Mary Johnston

Mary Johnston, a founding partner of Johnston Architects, believes design has the power to change lives. Mary is a frequent juror for design competitions and award ceremonies across the country, and has led design studios and lectures at the University of Washington’s College of Built Environment for 20 years. Through these leadership opportunities, Mary shares her ideas about ethical, responsible architecture that has a story to tell about its place. Mary wears many hats besides that of architect: she has served the City of Seattle as the chair of the Design Commission, she is a past president of AIA Seattle, she sits on the board of the Methow Conservancy, and is a past board member of Yellowstone Forever.
