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! 2026 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.

Mimi's Zero Waste

We are Seattle's newest bulk and plastic-free shopping option. Now open in the Crown Hill neighborhood. In addition to the household products, skin care, hair care, and gifts available on our website, we also sell bulk foods.We sell organic flours, grains, and beans, along with herbs, spices, teas, nuts and baking ingredients. We encourage you to bring your own containers. We use an RFID system to 'tare' or zero out the weight of the container on the scale and then help you fill as much or as little of each item as you like.

Upcycling is part of a larger system called the Circular Economy
