About Us

—your neighborhood retreat for private sauna and cold plunge therapy in Seattle, located right in the heart of Roosevelt near Green Lake.

We’re Alex and Tess, a husband-and-wife team who discovered our love for saunas and bathhouses while traveling. After searching for a similar experience closer to home, we realized Seattle was missing something: a private, outdoor sauna and cold plunge that was both affordable and accessible. So, we decided to create our own—in our backyard.

At 815 Refresh, we offer more than just a hot room and a tub of cold water—we provide a space where you can slow down, reconnect, and experience the benefits of contrast therapy. Whether you're recovering from a tough workout, escaping a stressful week, or simply craving time with close friends, our private sauna and cold plunge near Green Lake is here to help you reset.
We named our business 815 Refresh after our address—but also because that's what we hope each visit brings you: a full-body refresh, a clear mind, and a sense of connection to yourself and the people you choose to be with.
