Seattle City Map Poster

About this print

Seattle map poster

Seattle is a city shaped by water. It sits on a narrow isthmus between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, with Lake Union and the Ship Canal cutting through its middle and hills rising on nearly every side. The street grid bends and breaks to fit around all of it, which gives the city a layout unlike most American cities. This poster brings that distinctive geography to the wall in the Overprint style, a bold graphic look that treats the city's streets as pattern and form.

For people who live in Seattle, a city map often becomes a quiet record of daily life: the walk to a favorite coffee shop, the commute across a bridge, the ferry ride home, the neighborhood where a first apartment was. For those who have moved away, it can be a reminder of rainy afternoons, mountain views on clear days, and the particular feeling of a place surrounded by water and evergreen hills. Visitors who remember Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, or a drive along the waterfront may find it a fitting keepsake from the trip.

The Overprint edition suits rooms where a map should read as artwork first, whether in a living room, a home office, or an entryway. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a new Seattle resident, a longtime local, or anyone with a soft spot for the Pacific Northwest. The poster is designed as decorative art and is not intended for navigation.
