Cascade Cooperatives promotes local and emerging cooperatives in Whatcom and Skagit counties and educates the community about the cooperative business model.
Why choose a co-op?
We support the local cooperative business community in Whatcom and Skagit counties in Washington state.
Cooperatives offer a more sustainable and equitable business model than typical companies:
- member- or worker-owned
- profits circulate locally and build community
- motivated to care for our community and the place we live
- managed through member voting or democratic worker management
At Cascade Cooperatives we:
- share resources with other co-ops
- promote a healthy business ecosystem
- promote networking between different kinds of co-ops, including social co-ops, co-op businesses, and other forms of cooperative enterprise
