WE LOVE IT HERE — RAIN OR SHINE.

Even though we are widely known for our seemingly endless rainfall, Seattle actually sees less annual precipitation than cities like Houston, Chicago or New York City. With all the rain, the eco-system surrounding Seattle is lush and filled with life, energy and natural beauty. The ever-present water and humidity is our inherent inspiration for steam.

We love being outdoors. Consequently there are more people in Seattle who bike to work compared to any other U.S. city of similar size. The affinity for active, outdoor living and the versatility of the bike as a means of transportation inspired Seattle police department to create the first bicycle patrol in the country.

With our homebase in the Pacific Northwest and surrounded by lush forests, roaring rivers and breathtaking vistas, we are test driving our equipment on a daily basis, living the Seattle lifestyle – a lifestyle built on spending time outdoors, hanging out with friends while enjoying the moment.

Regardless of where you are, we encourage you to get out there and run, jump, ski or play. We are sure to be able to help you enjoy it more by making relaxation in the comfort of your own home possible. It will help you perform better both physically and mentally and get you ready for your next adventure.

OUR ROOTS.

1963

On July 1, 1963, Ted Bailey and Dick Robinson incorporated Sauna Inc. as co-founders and owners. We manufactured our own sauna rooms at our Bellevue, WA facility and acquired the distribution rights to the Finnish Metos brand of sauna heaters.

1983

Marking the 20-year anniversary as a company, we dropped our distribution rights to the Metos sauna heaters and started production of our own sauna heaters at our Bellevue, WA facility.
