Celebrate Seattle Made Week by exploring the brand-new Reuse Commons Lake City, an innovative community space bringing together micro-manufacturing, retail, events, and circular economy businesses under one roof.

Now in its 12th year, Seattle Made Week celebrates the makers who power our local economy, from food and beverages to textiles, consumer goods, and circular products made right here in Seattle. Through studio tours, tastings, pop-up markets, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences, Seattle Made Week connects the community with the businesses strengthening our region’s economy, culture, and sustainability.

Join us for an afternoon of discovery at Reuse Commons Lake City. Meet local makers, enjoy complimentary snacks and beverages, participate in a drop-in creative workshop, browse pop-up vendors featuring circular economy businesses, and learn how this exciting new space is helping build a more sustainable future.
