Cascade Cooperatives is a network of cooperatives in Whatcom County. We support each other and emerging cooperatives. Fostering cooperatives supports a local economy, gives the members decision-making rights, and creates community.

OUR PURPOSE…

share resources,

promote a healthy business ecosystem,

and educate the community about the

benefits of the cooperative business model

economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations of their members.
