The folks at Salish Sea Trading Cooperative have partnered with Skydottir Epic Cookies in a new venture which will see the popular cookies transported beyond Seattle City Limits via sailboat.
Salish Sea Trading Co-op will be sailing the cookies from Ballard to the peninsula for locals at the Port Townsend Food Co-op to enjoy.
Skydottir Epic Cookies has been fortunate enough to share cookies outside Seattle City Limits for several years but this partnership with Salish Sea Cooperative is the first-ever sailing opportunity! Currently cookies get to their new homes via USPS or cookie-carpooling to areas outside of Seattle including Burien, White Center, Everett, Federal Way, Vashon Island, Redmond, Tacoma, and Renton.
Ballard native and Skydottir owner, Alison Dahmen, is looking forward to the new venture. “Customers are excited about environmentally friendly ways to move our carefully packed cookies, and low-carbon sail transport is a neat new option. I also like the fact that both Skydottir and Salish Sea Trading Cooperative have roots in Ballard,” says Dahmen.
Similarly, Salish Sea Trading Co-op is delighted to add Skydottir to their partner list in rebuilding maritime Puget Sound trade routes.
“Making local trade connections is a natural fit alongside the revitalization of sail transport—our small boats can go just about anywhere—and the quality of Alison’s product made good business sense for an introduction to the Food Co-op,” says General Manager Kathy Pelish.
