Our headquarters is in Bellingham, Washington, located 52 miles south of Vancouver, Canada and 90 miles north of Seattle. Bellingham is a small town with big outdoor opportunities. Hiking the coast of Bellingham Bay, fishing at North Puget Sound, snowboarding down the white-capped Cascade mountains, and sailing around the San Juan islands are all a possibility right in our own backyard. The Pacific Northwest is the perfect testing environment for all of our products. It’s where we can try out just how much rain our waterproofing tools can handle (about 36 inches annually!) and see how well our patches and seams can stand up to the unpredictable elements of the hiking trails.
