Welcome to Strengthening Local Independent Co-ops Everywhere! We are a Seattle-based association of co-ops and allies from the Puget Sound region. Our mission is to foster the development of a cooperative economy rooted in democratic ownership, social justice, and ecological accountability.

Who are Cascadia’s cooperative communities and what do they need to thrive? From the SLICE 2010 Roundtable came the Cascadia Regional Co-op Resource Survey, which aimed to answer those questions. A full report of the survey’s findings were compiled by the Northwest Cooperative Development Center; See the report here.
