Learn about Geocaching HQ

Life at HQ

Founded in 2000, Geocaching HQ is a privately-held company nestled in the heart of the Fremont neighborhood in Seattle, WA. From our office, we enjoy views of seaplanes taking off from Lake Union and sailboats passing under the Fremont Bridge. You might even catch our employees on outdoor meetings while strolling on the Burke Gilman Trail, a pedestrian and bike trail that weaves between HQ and the ship canal.

As a hybrid onsite company, we take advantage of our workspace to collaborate in person, celebrate together, and, of course, go out on geocaching adventures. Here at HQ, we foster an energy to build community and connect with one another.

If this sounds like a good fit, we'd love to hear from you!

It's true—we play where we work! “This is a place where you make friends on your first day, high-five the office dogs on a weekly basis, share your unfiltered thoughts and ideas with the cofounder, get your fill of nostalgic childhood sweets from the magical snack drawers (#chocopie), play fantasy football with the CFO, and (perhaps most importantly) spend your weekends truly and unapologetically unplugged from work. Geocaching HQ is kind of like a geocache itself: truly a hidden gem amongst the tech giants and startups in Seattle, right under your nose.” (“The 50 Best Places to Work in 2021.” Outside Online, Outside Magazine, 29 Nov. 2021, www.outsideonline.com/culture/essays-culture/best-places-to-work-2021/.)
