We hope you join us in building new strategies for economic, human and ecological well being for Oregon and Washington's rural and urban communities.
We are very pleased to announce that Enterprise Cascadia is now called Craft3. As Craft3, we will grow into a regional institution supporting long-term, place-based strategies that link rural and urban communities of the Pacific Northwest. Western Washington and Oregon is currently served through offices in Ilwaco, Port Angeles and Seattle Washington, and Astoria and Portland, Oregon. In 2012, we will open an office in the eastern regions of both states. Over the past 16 years, we have invested $168 million in more than 2,000 business and individuals in Pacific Northwest communities. We remain firmly committed to our core belief that the "three bottom lines” of economy, environment and social equity are interconnected. Our mission continues to reflect our commitment to strengthen economic, ecological and family resilience in Pacific Northwest communities.

Quinault Tribal member Sonny Davis, owns Sea-atco Seafood and operates a small scale wholesale seafood business, selling and brokering to upscale restaurants and markets.Sonny is a well respected member of his community and the greater Native American community in Washington. He was successful in getting his tribal law reformed to allow tribal members to sell their catch to anyone, rather than solely to the tribally owned buying entity. His persistence paid off not only for Sea-atco, but also for other fisherman, as they are no longer reliant on one buyer for their catch. They now have a greater control over their selling price.
