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.
