What is EtsyRAIN?
EtsyRAIN is Etsy’s official Seattle Metropolitan “Street Team”: A volunteer organized, not-for-profit group of regional artists and craft makers who own and operate independent shops on Etsy.com

Our relationship with Etsy.com:
The majority of our team's efforts and events are not directly affiliated with Etsy.com: They have generously allowed us to use their online resources to establish our group here in the Puget Sound region. As a rule, Etsy supports our work but does not govern our group in any way.

About our Members:
We have members as far north as Port Townsend and as far south as Olympia with the majority of members residing in the greater Seattle Metropolitan area. We welcome all artists and craft makers from the Puget Sound region to join us!

Our Mission:
EtsyRAIN's mission is to nurture a supportive local community of artists and craft makers that will inspire, educate and promote the growth of our individual shops on Etsy and beyond.

Membership Requirements:
PLEASE join this group ONLY if you LIVE/WORK in the Seattle Metro / Puget Sound area AND have an *active* shop on Etsy.com (or have an *interest in starting* one!)
