Upcycle Bazaar

King County Makers

The future of our product-driven world is to make new things from the old. The Upcycle Bazaar features the work of our local makers who upcycle materials to keep them in use as long as possible! You’ll be able to learn how small changes can make a huge difference.

Knotty Paw

Knotty Paw is proud to be part of CHOMP! 2025 at Marymoor Park! As a small business rooted in sustainability and adventure, we give retired climbing rope a second life by turning it into durable, one-of-a-kind dog leashes. Every leash carries a story—repurposed from real climbs and made to explore the world with your dog.
