Market Street Traders is a unique store/cafe in Ballard. Fair trade organic wines coming soon!
MST says: ”...We are pleased to offer fairly traded goods created by artisans from around the world, from beautiful and exotic items for the home décor to delicious and sustainably produced packaged foods.
We invite you to stop by for a free taste of one of our dozen flavors of handmade fudge, cooked up right in the store with real cream butter. The chocolate is made from fairly traded cocoa that is roasted only a couple of miles away.
...now open for coffee, tea and pastries, we eagerly anticipate the opening in June 2008 of The Market Street Traders Café for complete menu service. Dash in now for a pastry and a cup of fresh coffee, and beginning in June come linger over a glass of delicious local wine and a satisfying, tasty meal.”

Citizens – Get involved today by ordering your Free Puget Sound Community Card! Merchants – If you’re locally focused, socially and environmentally responsible, we want you!
Puget Sound Community Change is designed to encourage loyalty to locally-focused, sustainably-minded businesses, and to support local non-profits and schools in the process.
The program helps communities align citizens’ values with their everyday purchases, harnessing purchasing power as a tool for achieving a sustainable future. When you shop at participating neighborhood businesses, you facilitate a shift of dollars to the common good through Community Rebates defined as cash rewards for consumers, and donations to not-for-profits and schools.
Join Puget Sound Community Change today and help channel money back through the local economy and positively contribute to your community’s overall quality of life!

a fresh squeeze afreshsqueeze.com
AFS says: “We started A Fresh Squeeze in the spring of 2006 with the idea of making it easier for Chicagoans to live a greener life. In the summer of 2007, we launched our second edition in the emerald city of Seattle. As friends with a shared interest in sustainability, we became frustrated with the lack of useful information on green living. Too often what we found was either impractical or incomprehensible. We began to wonder, is anyone else having the same problem? So we decided to look for the best local information on green living. Twice a week, we share our findings in emails sent to our subscribers. Our emails offer simple advice on things you can do to make your life a little greener.”
