Edgeworks is partnering with Bloodworks Northwest to host a virtual blood drive across all three locations!
Blood banks have been hit hard this year and they are always looking to find ways to encourage folks to donate. Members and staff are invited to join us in reaching our company goal of 25 donors for September.
Help us reach our goal of 25 donors by following these simple steps:
Schedule an appointment to donate whole blood or apheresis (platelets/double reds/plasma) donation with Bloodworks anytime between September 1st and September 30th.
Same-day appointment is often available, call 1-800-398-7888 for an opening.
On the day of your donation, mention Edgeworks or the donor code “EDGE” when you are getting checked in so that we can keep track of our impact. Thank you for being a life-saver!
Eligibility questions? Please visit bloodworksnw.org/eligibility.
Those who are ineligible to donate or prefer to make an impact in a different way can consider the following: Make a financial gift. Be a Volunteer. Participate in our research program. Even if you can’t give blood for patient care you can give blood for medical research.

With a MAJOR expansion project soon to be underway, we’re excited to share with you our plans to make Edgeworks Bellevue bigger, better, more inclusive and more modern.
Our gyms are shared spaces for climbers of all ages, all sizes, and all abilities – from new climbers and fitness enthusiasts to elite/competitive climbers training for their next big goal or adventure.
Our focus with this expansion project is to build a space where:
All in all, we aim to create a setting that feels active, vibrant and welcoming. Where people choose to hang out even if they aren’t climbing because they know that this is where they will find their people and it’s where they belong.
3 years (almost complete; final permits still pending)
In partnership with Crossroads’ overall expansion and development plans, we will be adding an additional 8,400 square feet to the south side of our building, featuring 10,400 sq ft of new climbing surface with walls designed and constructed by EP USA. ← The same folks who created the competition walls for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. This new addition will bring us to a total of 31,400 sq ft of climbing!
Fall 2022 – Winter/Spring 2022/23
First, we need to expand our footprint to make room for the more exciting additions and updates. We’ll do so by busting through the south end of our building and extending out into the parking lot.
In addition to the new climbing walls, this building expansion will make room for:
Fall/Winter 2022
Designed and constructed by EP USA, we’re excited to provide our community with more roped terrain, featuring:
Fall/Winter 2022 – Spring 2023
Being the first of many projects included in Crossroads’ overall expansion and development plans has definitely come with its challenges. Namely, city permits.
In August, the building team received another set of comments from the City of Bellevue. While all look relatively minor, a revision of the construction drawings and a resubmittal was required. The City has 6 weeks from resubmittal to get back to us and the builders are currently hoping for an October 1 start date. Materials are already on site, ready to start immediately once the city issues a permit.
While the delay of the project has been frustrating for everyone involved, our plans for expansion remain unchanged. We have some of the best architects (MG2) and construction team (Foushee Construction) in the Puget Sound handling design, permitting and construction. From the new climbing wall design to building upgrades and improved customer amenities, our vision for the final product will still bring you more climbing, more fitness and more training options than ever before.
We appreciate your patience and will continue to provide updates as they become available.
Not at this time. Though we will be adding additional training features including (2) Kilter boards, a campus board and training board. Future plans for more bouldering are included as part of a separate project; stay tuned for those details!
South Bay Bouldering Walls
The majority of our existing walls will remain intact with the exception of The Cave in the South Bay. With its current design and steep overhang, these walls have always presented difficulties for our setting team and members. Therefore, this area will be opened up to create a pass-through to the new climbing area as well as a social gathering space.
While it’s never fun to take anything away, we feel confident in our plans to provide something more accessible and usable in its place. Including, community work spaces for remote work or studying and a comfortable area to rest, recharge and connect before, during or after your climbing sessions.
Pirate Ship + Youth Zone
It’s time to “scuttle” the Pirate Ship. Removing it and updating this zone will allow space to create an all new weight training and cardio area.
We really like the idea but the original Stone Gardens Tukwila project and plans are no longer available. In the meantime, our existing partnership with Crossroads – coupled with their overall plans for expansion and development – are helping to make the Bellevue project possible.
It is our goal to maintain normal operating hours as much as possible during all phases of construction. If for any reason we need to open late or close early on certain days we will do our best to provide advanced notice to all members. Please check your email and be sure to follow our social media accounts to receive updates throughout the project.
Yes, but not just due to expansion. Since the very beginning, it’s been Edgeworks’ theory and practice that small yearly price increases provide transparent predictability for our members and allow us to continue our commitment to invest back into our facilities, programs, and employees.
Each year, we evaluate the following criteria that typically results in a monthly membership rate increase:
If you have additional questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments below or send them via our online Member Feedback form.
We’ll continue to add to this feed as more questions and details emerge.
Because our members help build our community and we are intentionally working to build a welcoming space for all. One TUESDAY every month, we invite our members to branch out from their normal climbing sessions and engage with the Edgeworks’ community.
Meet other members, share stories, get tips from our staff, and have fun.
Climbing, games, competitions, prizes, free drinks for members, and social time with friends (old and new), it doesn’t get much better than this!
