Authentically Northwest since 1953.

At PCC, we’re Northwest to the core. That means we prioritize what really matters: people and planet. Every dollar spent at our co-op does more. Because we’re more than a local grocer — our community guides our decisions. And they have for 70 years. Whether you’re a lifelong co-op member or a lunch-break regular, join us in celebrating all that we’ve done together over the decades.

Our co-op through the years.

Local from the ground up.

PCC began as a food-buying club of 15 Seattle families in 1953. And we’ve been ensuring good food nourishes the communities we serve ever since, from helping our hometown’s P-Patch program take root, to supporting the first national organic standards.

Helping a Seattle legacy take root.

Near the former Ravenna PCC, the first P-Patch community garden plot came to life in 1973. Today, the program sees more than 3,100 Seattle residents tending raised beds at more than 89 gardens across the city.

The evolution of food banks.

Supporting food access has been a priority of our co-op for decades, starting with our original food bank program. Over the years, Seattle’s food banks have evolved to focus on connecting organizations more directly to local farmers.

For the love of good food.

Demystifying food has been a cornerstone of our co-op since 1983 through our cooking class program. Chefs, nutritionists and global cuisine experts teach our members and shoppers about seasonal ingredients, international staples and time-honored techniques.
