Our annual holiday tradition is back again at Earthwise Architectural Salvage! Every December, our stores feature a Craft Market where our many artistically-inclined employees can 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.
