The annual Earthwise Craft Market IS BACK!
Our holiday tradition returns! Every December, our Earthwise Craft Market gives our many artistically-inclined employees a chance to sell their creations in our stores. All proceeds go directly to the employees who made the items, so it’s an amazing way to both find incredibly unique, handcrafted gifts for friends and families and to support the hardworking staff at a local business here in Western Washington.

Each store has their own incredible lineup of artists and items. Here’s an overview of what’s available at each store. This list will be updated throughout the month as items are sold and more are added:
