PCC Community Markets

PCC Community Markets, the 72-year-old retail grocery cooperative serving the Puget Sound region, hired Amy Chow as the co-op's new chief financial officer. Additionally, PCC concluded this year's board of trustees election, with Will Daughterty elected to the board for the first time and Cindy Bolton and Angela Owen re-elected for new terms.

Chow brings financial and retail expertise to the co-op, backed by more than two decades of leadership across finance, strategy and operations. She most recently served as CFO of Sur La Table following a 12-year tenure with the company, where she played a key role in shaping strategic direction, driving execution, and supporting financial decision-making across the organization. Her broader career spans leadership roles across the retail, technology and consulting sectors. She succeeds former CFO Chris Naismith, who recently retired.

Daughterty, president and CEO of Pacific Science Center, brings over 30 years of leadership experience at Amazon, Expedia, AT&T and McKinsey. In addition, his board service includes BECU, KEXP, and Oxbow Farm & Conservation Center. Bolton, a PCC member for over 20 years and chair of the board's Audit and Finance Committee, has more than 25 years of strategic, financial, and operational leadership and currently serves as CFO of Seattle Art Museum. Owen is an omni-channel executive with experience at REI Co-op and Eddie Bauer. The board of trustees is comprised of up to 13 trustees, each elected by PCC's active membership, which now numbers over 118,000 members.

The trustees serve three-year terms, with a maximum of three consecutive terms. Founded in Seattle in 1953, PCC Community Markets is a certified organic retailer and the largest food cooperative in the United States with more than 118,000 active member-owners. PCC currently operates 16 stores in neighborhoods across the Puget Sound region including Bellevue, Bothell, Burien, Edmonds, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond and Seattle.
