A first look inside Saltwater Collective - Des Moines, WA
What is Saltwater

Saltwater Collective is a neighborhood marketplace built around the people making interesting things close to home. Inside you'll find independent Washington makers, local food, small-batch goods, art, books, creative supplies, farmstand products, rotating gallery work, and a calendar of classes and gatherings.

Come to shop. Come to make something. Come because you were walking by and had twenty minutes. That works too.

Zenith Farmstand

Saltwater Collective's house-grown and house-made line: seasonal produce, microgreens, honey, syrups, herbal products, and other small-batch goods, grown and made a short drive from the shelf you'll find them on.

You do not need an appointment to belong here.

Saltwater was designed to be a place where people can browse, drink a cup of coffee, look at art, meet someone new, or sit for a minute.

Sometimes the best thing happening here won't be on the calendar. That's intentional.
