About Pack Nw
From modest beginnings in a Bellingham sail loft, where they honed their industrial sewing skills and gained the respect of the local sailing community, Pack Nw expanded naturally. Sailors need accurate, durable stitching that can survive the punishing, frequently severe northwest marine environment. Bellingham is a natural playground known for its proximity to Mt. Baker, the North Cascades, and the BC Coast Range as well as its world-class sailing. It is located in northwest Washington, where great mountains and big rivers meet the sea. This setting is where the concept for Pack Nw first emerged. They take great pride in the fact that every product bearing the Pack Northwest label was created by hand in their Bellingham facility and is made to last. They make considerable efforts to source from them manufacturers whenever possible, giving preference to local and regional suppliers for any materials, parts, or inputs that they cannot produce themselves. By doing this, they can support the robust domestic manufacturing economy that they work to support.
