You slide into the dining lounge at the Seattle Northgate Residence Inn and the noise of the city compresses into a softer rhythm: the clack of scissors, low conversation, the crinkle of paper. For two hours, the room becomes a small laboratory for planning, a space where intention replaces checklist and a map of possibilities grows out of glue and ink.
