Feathered Friends was founded in 1972 by a husband and wife team who were struck by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and settled in Seattle to produce down jackets, sleeping bags, and bedding from the basement of their home. While Feathered Friends has grown into an internationally known brand, we're still a close-knit family business and are proud of the dedicated, passionate team members who have joined the family. We have a factory in Seattle where we produce our down goods, and a retail store in Seattle where we sell our down sleeping bags, garments, and bedding, as well as a selection of high-quality outdoor gear.
OVERVIEW
Feathered Friends is looking for an outgoing, hard working, fun-loving, team player who has sales experience and a love of the outdoors.
At our Seattle shop we sell the finest down sleeping bags and garments, backpacking and climbing gear, and clothing and footwear for outdoor pursuits. We also sell our incredible down comforters and pillows. Our unique combination of outdoor store, bedding store, manufacturer, and customer service center requires individuals comfortable wearing many hats. If you're an outgoing sales associate who can seamlessly switch gears from fitting packs to helping a customer decide which comforter is right for them, we'd love to hear from you!
