Flatstick Pub
609 Westlake Ave. N.

Get the competitive juices flowing with a round or three of mini golf or Duffleboard, Flatstick’s super fun, proprietary game that’s a mix of shuffleboard and mini golf. Flatstick offers a variety of private spaces for rent for larger team events, too. Take advantage of its extensive tap list and in-house kitchen to satisfy appetites and prevent meltdowns on the golf course.

REI Flagship Store
222 Yale Av.e N.

The outdoor co-op provides a number of fun classes, including climbing, avalanche awareness, and more. REI has made news in the last few years for its stewardship efforts—on Black Friday, when other retailers typically hype deep discounts and sale events, REI chooses to opt outside. It collects no online sales, closes its stores, and pays its employees to get outside. Leading up to and on Black Friday REI is hosting events with different organizations to clean parks, beaches, and riverbanks nationwide. Click here for event details and to register.

Seattle Makers

Seattle Makers donates 5% of each team building event to select organizations like Native Girls Code, Key Tech Labs, and Chicktech Seattle.
