It all started when…

Before there was Keating Architects & Interiors, there was Peter D. Swindley Architects & Interiors, Inc. Dan Keating worked for and was mentored by Pete for over 27 years as a member of the firm before taking the helm when Peter passed away.

Peter graduated from the University of Washington, School of Architecture and was a member of the American Institute of Architects.

Peter D. Swindley Architects & Interiors, Inc. was established in 1976 as a one-stop shop for projects from kitchen remodels to new residence constructions. Peter hand-selected architects, interior designers, contractors and artisans, building a network of clients predominantly through strong recommendations of the work he did.

Peter personally designed hundreds of homes, many in his home neighborhood of Yarrow Point, as well as the Yarrow Point Town Hall, dedicated in 1990.

Over the years, the firm grew and flourished in large part due to Pete’s charisma and strong desire to surround himself with talented professionals. Not a day goes by since his passing in September 2020 that he is not spoken or thought of fondly by the team he built.
