Red Cedar Climbing Survey, Port Townsend, WA

Generated May, 2026

As you might know, we’re in the process of creating a climbing gym in Port Townsend. Currently, we are in the architectural design and permitting phases and will open our doors in late 2027/early 2028. Located just west of Goodwill, Red Cedar Climbing will provide a homegrown space for lifelong and aspiring climbers, kids of all ages, and seniors.

The gym will include bouldering, top rope, and lead climbing and have approximately 6,000sqft of climbable surface. There will be designated areas for fitness, retail, meetings and parties, and a mezzanine to watch and hang out.

We very much appreciate your willingness to take this survey. Hearing from our community is a vital part of the journey to help create the best gym possible for the Quimper Peninsula.

This survey will take 5-10 minutes to complete. At the end, you'll have a chance to add your comments, ideas, and questions. If you wish to include your name and contact info, we'll enter it in a drawing for a FREE, one-month gym membership!
