It is based at the main office in Wallingford, Seattle, with flexible options for some remote work.

Tilth Alliance’s vacation policy allows for accrual of 15 days in year 1 (and increases with service longevity).

Employees are offered access to a wide range of Tilth Alliance’s classes for no charge, depending on availability.
