The Northwest EcoBuilding Guild

The Northwest EcoBuilding Guild is an association of contractors, design professionals, tradespeople, manufacturers, suppliers and homeowners interested in sustainable construction and design. Formed in 1992, our members include regionally recognized leaders in their fields as well as interested beginners. There are about 400 members in ten chapters throughout the Cascadia bioregion, from Western Washington to Montana and south the Oregon.

Guild members hold local chapter meetings, organize and support workshops, publish the EcoBuilding Times and the Green Pages - a directory of members and their enviornmentally friendly products and services.

The Guild's mission is to promote building practices that protect human health, encourage sustainable use of energy and resources, and foster long-term regional economic vitality. The Guild is a registered 501-c3 non-profit organization, supported by grants (in 1996 from the Washington State Department of Ecology and City of Seattle Solid Waste), membership dollars and advertising revenue from the publications.
