(June 2001) — The Seattle Sustainable Coffee Campaign began in June 2001 as a collaborative effort by TransFair USA, the Songbird Foundation and the NW Shade Coffee Campaign, to increase consumer awareness about sustainable coffee growing practices (shade, organic and Fair Trade coffees).

The campaign recognized PCC Greenlake for selling the most shade-grown and Certified Fair Trade coffee in the Seattle market.

"As a leading retailer of Certified Fair Trade products in the region, PCC is leading the way in helping us educate consumers about the social and environmental impacts of their food choices. As supporters and members of PCC, you care about these choices and understand these connections."
