Welcome!

Central Co-op is a member-owned natural foods cooperative in the heart of Seattle dedicated to sustainable practices, community accountability, and the local food economy.

You don't have to be an owner –
everyone can shop co-op.

With our full-service delicatessen, extensive selection of natural remedies and body care, foods for special and limited diets, unrivaled assortment of bulk, local, organic, and fairly traded goods, sustainable seafood and meat department, farmers’ market-quality produce department, and knowledgeable workers, we provide a healthful shopping experience in a community-oriented setting.

Central Co-op’s annual election cycle has started. We are looking for candidates to help this business serve our owners and uphold our principles, as we navigate the economic and ecological crises of our time.

We’ve been a community-owned business for 31 years, 10 in our current location. Every year, co-op owners (that’s you!) elect three owners to join the board and help steer Central Co-op into the future. If you have time to give to your community, and skills or experience to share with our crew of dedicated volunteers, please consider running.
