Are you new to Seattle or want to meet more like-minded outdoor curious folks? Join Gearhouse's Forager Club and get access to weekly social events, activity series, discounts on gear, and savings at our cafe. An outdoor club to build your outdoor adventures. FORAGER CLUB Forager - Membership at your own pace. For the busy, the curious, and the already-geared. À la carte access to the Gearhouse community and events without another monthly charge to keep up with. Join Forager - $199 every 6 months Join by May 21st and get an extra $49 in gear rental allowance! Who Forager is for You already own the gear You don't need regular rentals — you need people to use it with. Forager gets you into the Slack, the events, and the community without paying for rentals you'd never use. You want to try Gearhouse before committing Think of it as a six-month on-ramp. Come to a few events, see if your people are here, then decide if a bigger tier makes sense. You're busy You'll get out a few times this season — not every weekend. Forager is sized for that. No pressure to "use up" anything. What's Included Community Access Member-only Slack, weekly social events, and 30% off at our partner beer + kombucha spots. Limited free clinics & trips Get on the list for our beginner-friendly skill builders. Spots are limited but they're yours to grab. Discounted rentals when you want them 10% off gear rentals and 30% off coffee. Pay-as-you-go on bigger items. $199 free gear rental allowance built in Your fee doubles as an allowance. Dip into rentals without thinking about it — for you or for friends. See all of our events! What's not included The mountain shuttle, premium hosted trips and adventures, and monthly free rentals. If those sound like what you actually want, take a look at Trail or Summit before you sign up. Pricing Frequently asked questions Forager Club FAQs What is the Gear Rental Allowance? The Gear Rental Allowance allows you to make your adventures better for you or your friends by offsetting the cost of a few rentals at the Gear Counter. Use it to try out new types of gear, bring a friend along that doesn’t have gear, etc. Does my Gear Allowance expire? Your allowance is a promotional perk tied to your Active Member status during your 6-month term. To ensure we have the best gear ready for the community, unused allowances reset at the end of the term. However, if you maintain your momentum and renew for another term or upgrade, we will "rollover" your remaining balance as a loyalty bonus! Can I use my allowance to rent gear for friends? Yes! One of the best parts of the Forager Club is building your crew. You can apply your allowance to gear for your friends to join you on a Gearhouse community hike or a private weekend camping trip. Why would I choose Trail over the Forager Club? If you plan on getting outside more than once a month, Trail is the better value. While the Forager Club gives you a set "allowance," Trail members get $400 off every rental. One weekend of skiing and one weekend of a complete camping set would already exceed the Starter allowance, making Trail the choice for high-frequency adventurers. Can I upgrade before my 6 months are up? Absolutely. If you find yourself using your gear allowance quickly or wanting the perks of the other membership tiers, you can upgrade to Trail or Summit at any time. Can I pause my access? No, but you can transfer the Forager Club membership and its remaining benefits to a friend once. The Forager Club is designed for irregular use to match seasonal patterns for this exact reason. How do I cancel my membership? Fill out this quick form and we'll cancel your membership at the end of your billing cycle - we honor all cancellations at the time this form is received (or at the time cancellation is requested via text to 206-466-0575 or via email to ask@joingearhouse.com) Have more questions? Email: ask@joingearhouse.com Text: 206-466-0575 or stop in for a coffee and chat What events are included? 1. Weekly Community Hangouts These are the bread and butter of the club. Think of these as your low-stakes way to meet the crew. Post-Work Socials: Happy hours at the clubhouse or local breweries. Run/Bike/Hike Clubs: Casual, weekday outings designed to shake off the office chair vibes. Game Nights & Presentations: From trivia to guest speakers sharing their latest thru-hiking slides. 2. Skills Clinics & Workshops We want you to feel confident in the wild, so we host regular "how-to" sessions. The Basics: Intro to backpacking, map and compass navigation, and "how to not freeze" winter camping prep. Gear Maintenance: Sessions on how to patch your tent, wax your skis, or fix a flat on the trail. Seasonal Prep: Specific workshops to get you ready for ski season, climbing season, or "I'm just here for the wildflowers" season. 3. Curated Weekend Trips These are the "big" ones. We handle the logistics; you bring the energy. Group Backpacking/Camping: Self-hosted trips to local favorite spots. Activity-Specific Outings: Organized days for rock climbing, snowshoeing, or kayaking, camping, bbq'ing etc Wait, what's not included? We believe in radical transparency: While the events and community access are included in your membership, you’ll still need to cover your own: Personal Gear: (Though you get a sweet discount on rentals at Gearhouse with your Gear Allowance or 10% off rentals after that's been used up!). If you need lots of gear, the Trail Club is often a better fit as gear rental is free! Transportation: You'll need to arrange your own rides to the events. If you need regular transportation, we'd recommend you check out the Summit Club! Instruction: Some events have instruction for a fee (or are included for free in Summit Club Food: You'll need to bring your own snacks and water but you can buy coffee and snacks from the cafe before heading out if we're leaving from the cafe!

We stock nearly every item for every outdoor adventure you could have in the Pacific Northwest, from splitboarding to stand-up paddleboarding. Browse our gear inventor 2. Do you ever run out of gear? We size our inventory for the membership base so it’s very rare. We remind members when peak weekends are coming up and do whatever we can to make sure members have the gear you need to get into the outdoors. 3. What kind of events do you offer? Our range of events is so broad and varied that it’s best to browse our calendar . Generally, our events fall into several categories: Social Events, Member Adventures, Workshops, Hosted Trips, and Instructional Field Clinics. Social Events Hangouts, trivia, happy hours, workshops, and other chill outdoor events that don’t require experience or gear outside. Lots of casual and informational events happen at our clubhouse, Basecamp Cafe and Bar. Open to all membership levels free of charge. These workshops include things like Ski/Snowboard Waxing Clinics, Edge Maintenance Clinic, Snow Chains Practice, Avalance Awareness, Compass Navigation, Backpacking Trip Planning, Better Backcountry Cooking, Summer BBQs and Yard Games and more! Member Adventures These are out-in-the-field events and urban exploration that require some gear and some experience. With so many amazing things to experience in the PNW, we rotate through sports, regions, and difficulty level depending on the season and our members’ interest. Think: paddling, hiking, gym & outdoor climbing, yoga, and mountain biking. Open to all membership levels free of charge! Summit members often have access to rides to these events on our regularly running weekend mountain shuttle. These adventures include local night skiing, member xc ski days, weekend hikes, bike rides, paddles and camping trips. Hosted Trips and Instructional Field Clinics These are our “learn something” events! We know that a lot of people join Gearhouse ready to gain new skills and travel farther afield. We often host our own clinics and also often partner with world-class local guide services to provide training and certification in outdoors skills from cross-country skiing, backcountry skiing and splitboarding, climbing and sailing to mountaineering and avalanche safety. These courses often cost $200-$300/day and they are offered at a reduced rate for Members (sometimes even free for Summit Members!). We also offer multi-day clinics like AIARE Avalanche Education and Wilderness First Responder classes discounted by hundreds of dollars to Summit Members. There’s something for every level and every style! 4. I already have my own gear, why should I join? You’re in good company! Lots of our members already have a ton of gear and join for our events, community, discounts on instructional courses, co-working space, or to find new sports. Others like to use their gear rental access for their friends and family to share their love of PNW adventure. Funnily enough, GH members who own the most gear often use our gear library more than others! They love to try out new activities with additional gear and education that Gearhouse offers. 5. I've tried outdoor communities before and was left feeling bummed out. We hear you. Often outdoor communities can feel intense, competitive, and exclusive — where it is more about ‘bagging the peak’ or achieving a personal goal. Gearhouse exists to help create opportunities to connect with yourself and others through the outdoor experience. It’s not about how long or fast or well you do an activity. It’s not about the biggest mountain you can climb or the sickest single-track you can bomb (although those things are great!). Gearhouse attracts the kind of people who want to encourage and support each other in our adventures and create some great memories together along the way. Come see for yourself! 6. Can I use my membership to rent gear for family and friends? If you're an Trail Club or Summit Club member, gear rental is designed to support you. If you need gear for your friends, you can get 10% off of public rental rates for friends. If you're a Forager Club member, you can use your Gear Rental Allowance for you or your friends! If you've used up your Gear Allowance, you get 10% off any additional rentals or it might make sense to upgrade to a Trail Club member! 7. How do I cancel a membership? Just fill out this quick cancellation request ! We honor the cancellation as of the time submitted so no worries if a charge slips through before we're able to process the cancellation. We process them daily though so it's rare! 8. I'm not a summit member and there's a trip I want to join, can I? No, we're based on a membership model to enable members to adventure with familiar faces and get to know each other over multiple trips through shared experiences. If you'd like to meet with a staff member to help understand other trips that might also interest you, we'd love to set a time to chat! 9. Where does your courtesy shuttle for Summit members go? We pickup from Gearhouse Coffee Shop in Capitol Hill and go straight to the adventure trailhead. On winter weekends we stop at several nearby adventure spots to support skiing and snowboarding at Summit at Snoqualmie, Snowshoeing, and XC Skiing at Crystal Springs and Cabin Creek as riders require. 10. What times does the shuttle run? Weeknights we depart at 5pm and return at 11pm to Gearhouse Coffee Shop in Capitol Hill.On Saturdays and Sundays, we depart at 7:15 am for Saturday shuttles arriving at 8:30am and heading back to Seattle that afternoon. Be sure to check the exact schedule on the event you book!

Climbing in Washington rivals the best in the world. Join Gearhouse in Seattle, WA to scale local routes, meet fellow adventurers, and rent high-quality outdoor gear. STAND UP PADDLEBOARDING & KATAKING Intro to Stand-Up Paddling & Kayaking With approximately 28,000 miles of Coastline, Washington is a state best explored by water. There are endless possibilities for adventure, from Puget Sound to the Pacific Ocean and every river or lake in between. Washington is truly a paddler’s paradise. What is Stand Up Paddling & Kayaking ? Stand-up paddling, or SUP, is a popular water sport born from surfing. It involves standing on a large surfboard-shaped board and propelling yourself forward by paddling with an elongated canoe-style paddle while standing in the center of the board. Is either Safe? While all water sports have risks, stand-up paddling is relatively safe. Stand-up paddlers should be capable swimmers and wear proper flotation while paddling. You May Enjoy Stand Up Paddling or Kayaking if…. You enjoy being outdoors and on the water, or you like pushing your physical limits in nature. Types of Stand-Up Paddling All-Around Stand-Up Paddling All-around stand-up paddling is exactly what it sounds like, leisurely navigating calm waters on a board with plenty of floatation. All-around boards can be rigid or inflatable. Stand Up Paddle Surfing Stand-up paddle surfing involves catching and riding waves on a specialized stand-up paddle board made for surfing. Stand-up paddle surfing requires high levels of paddle skills, physical fitness, and wave-riding prowess. Stand-Up Paddle Touring Stand-up paddle touring involves traveling long distances on open water. Touring is often downwind and involves paddling long distances one direction. Stand-up paddle touring requires specialized boards that are longer and narrower than all-around or surfing stand-up paddle boards. Touring boards are equipped to carry more weight, including camping gear for overnight adventures. Whitewater Stand Up Paddling Whitewater stand-up paddling involves descending a river and navigating whitewater rapids while paddling a specialized river stand-up paddle board. Whitewater stand-up paddling requires a high level of physical fitness and paddle skills. Stand-Up Paddle Season in Washington Washington has it all when it comes to paddling, from rushing mountain rivers to calm lakes, Puget Sound, and the Pacific Ocean. It’s possible to stand-up paddle year-round in Washington, but the typical SUP season runs from late spring (May) into summer (June, July, August) through early fall (September), when the weather is mild, and the water is at its warmest. How to Start Stand-up Paddling Getting started stand-up paddling in Washington is easy, all you need is the right equipment and to know where and when to go. Gearhouse has everything you need to start your stand-up paddling journey, like paddle boards, paddles, life jackets, and dry bags. Always pay attention to the weather and tide conditions when planning your stand-up paddling trip. The Gearhouse trip planning department is a great resource for new paddlers. Stand-Up Paddle Gear Stand-up paddling requires two essential pieces of gear, the stand-up paddle board and the paddle. Make sure your stand-up paddle board and paddle are sized correctly for your height and weight.And always use a US Coast Guard certified personal flotation device (PFD). Gearhouse offers all the essential stand-up paddling gear you need for your next adventure on the water.
