Gather. Share. Connect
Washington Outdoor Link
The Link exists to make Washington’s outdoor industry more accessible, connected, and collaborative.
We create welcoming spaces where people can meet, learn, share knowledge, and build meaningful relationships.
Whether you’re already working in the industry, just getting started, or curious about where you fit, The Link is a place to connect, ask questions, and help shape a stronger outdoor community.
Our Mission
To bring together the people behind Washington’s outdoor recreation community. Through connection, shared knowledge, and conversation, we strengthen relationships, open doors to those who are curious, and help create a more inclusive and welcoming outdoor community.
Our Vision
A stronger outdoor community in Washington where experience, opportunity, and mentorship are shared across cultures, backgrounds, and stages of the outdoor journey.
Who Is The Link For?
The Link is for people already working in the outdoor community, and for those trying to find their way in.
That includes people in bike shops, nonprofits, retail, advocacy, guiding, events, trail work, outdoor recreation, and related spaces.
Different backgrounds, voices, and experiences are not just welcomed here. They are needed!
