Northwest Woodworkers Gallery

Northwest Woodworkers Gallery (formerly Northwest Gallery of Fine Woodworking)[1] in downtown Seattle, is the oldest and largest woodworking cooperative in the United States. Started in 1980 in the Pioneer Square neighborhood by a small group of studio furniture craftsmen, the gallery has grown and fostered the resurgence of the Northwest Crafts movement. The co-op includes notable master woodworkers such as Evert Sodergren[2] and Stewart Wurtz.[3] Northwest Woodworkers gallery moved to the 2111 1st Ave in the Belltown neighborhood in 2012. The gallery currently represents more than 200 woodworkers, including 27 members.
