Seattle Fair Trade

Seattle Fair Trade Seattle Fair Trade is a locally operated fair trade, non-profit retail store. This includes supporting our local Pacific Northwest artisans.

Our Story

In 1991, Seattle Fair Trade began as Ten Thousand Villages – Seattle, a branch of the national organization Ten Thousand Villages. This movement unofficially started in the 1940s by Edna Ruth Blyer, a Mennonite woman in Pennsylvania. The Beginning

While on vacation in Puerto Rico with her husband, Edna discovered beautiful embroidery crafted by women from La Plata. Struck by the beauty

of these textiles, she brought pieces back home to sell to her neighbors and friends, giving birth to Ten Thousand Villages. Part of Something Bigger

Ten Thousand Villages became a founding member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). It started in downtown Seattle near Pike Place Market but eventually found its home in the thriving Roosevelt neighborhood in 2000. The Evolution

In 2023, we decided to branch out on our own to promote fair trade products by artisans globally, going beyond the scope of Ten Thousand Villages. We proudly became Seattle Fair Trade. Our Community

We are a vibrant community of volunteers, board members, and dedicated staff. Beyond our retail space, we host events and pop-up markets in the area, showcasing work by regional artists. With the support of our patrons and loyal customers, we sell fair trade goods from around the world, fostering income and recognition for the artisans. Our Vision

Seattle Fair Trade is more than just a store. We aim to be a center for fair trade in Seattle, connecting our community with artisans from around the world. We're proud to support both global artisans and our talented local artists, contributing to their success and celebrating their incredible work.
