The Lynden Artisan Market started in 2021 when craft vendor shows were a scarce find. Running any kind of business, let alone a small artisan based craft show oriented style business, became a real struggle during the covid era. Craft and Trade shows, even small gatherings were limited or cancelled altogether. When the Northwest Washington Fair came back for the summer of 2021 for a 10 day run, we pulled together as a group of local artisans and came up with the Lynden Artisan Market.

Fast forward to 2025, and we just wrapped up our 5th Northwest Washington Fair as a shared group. We have stayed focused on small, local businesses that represent our community and like minded people. We are here to support each other in this growing small business world while providing unique and interesting goods and services to our local communities. Here in our new retail location we can offer that support all year long instead of just a select few days a month. Thank you for supporting our small handmade businesses and keeping this community strong.
