Why shop Co-​op? We are owned by the people who shop with us. No corporate entities or singular individual profits from your hard earned grocery dollars. We are community based, and often sponsor our school events, provide nutrition information, and support our local farming community. You don’t have to be an owner-​member to shop with us. Everyone is welcome at our neighborhood store. If you find you shop with us often, and want to get more involved in your local food shed, we welcome your ownership and input.

History

Established in 1997.

In 1995, Seattle based Puget Consumer’s Co-​op (PCC) closed their doors in south Everett. Months later (January 1996), fifty PCC members, in response to the closing, met and voted to form a Co-​op of their own in downtown Everett. They were convinced that a cooperative was a need and benefit to the community. Six of these members agreed to be on the Board of Trustees. Sno-​Isle volunteers submitted letters and articles to PCC’s newsletter, sent out flyers throughout the county, held events and fundraisers to pay start-​up costs. We held an organic farmer’s market on the street in front of the store and held monthly pot lucks. In the fall of 1996, 100 of Sno-Isle’s 350 members attended a meeting to vote and approve the opening of a store. The dedication and sweat of a few finally came to life and Sno-​Isle could now start using member certificates to build the Co-​op.

Sno-​Isle Natural Foods Co-​op opened on March 3, 1997.
