Northwest Woodworkers Gallery (formerly Northwest Gallery of Fine Woodworking) in downtown Seattle, is the oldest and largest woodworking cooperative in the United States. Started in 1980 in the Pioneer Square neighborhood by a small group of studio furniture craftsmen, the gallery has grown and fostered the resurgence of the Northwest Crafts movement. The co-op includes notable master woodworkers such as Evert Sodergren and Stewart Wurtz. Northwest Woodworkers gallery moved to the 2111 1st Ave in the Belltown neighborhood in 2012. The gallery currently represents more than 200 woodworkers, including 27 members.

McLeod Residence
McLeod Residence

The McLeod Residence was an art cooperative and gallery based in the Belltown area of Seattle, Washington. It closed in October 2008.It was opened in December 2006 by Lele McLeod (born Leanne Ng) and Buster Butterfield McLeod (born Erik Benson of Seattle's Robot Co-op & 43 Things) as a blended gathering place for members interested in art, technology, and networking. Both cofounders legally changed their names as part of the launch. The McLeod Residence occupied the second floor of a two-story mixed-use building in Belltown. The space was used for a six-room sale gallery, a bar open for members-only events, and a social club. Memberships cost $75 per year or $300 lifetime, or were granted in exchange for other mutually-agreed arrangements.The gallery emphasized socialization and technology in unconventional ways. A touch-screen photo booth took visitors' pictures and immediately uploaded them to Flickr. Two "mirrors" by The Barbarian Group hung in the bathrooms, constantly taking photos and presenting them as photomosaics of previous photos.Due to difficulties in complying with local fire codes, the McLeod Residence's owners announced that they would close their current gallery effective October 31, 2008. The owners said they would seek a new location. As of September 2010, the McLeod Residence has not been reopened in a new location. A cocktail bar and gallery, The Upstairs, opened in the south half of the residence in December 2011.
