Meet Melissa & Jerad
Why We're Building Gather
Jerad and Melissa Robbins have called North Bend home since 2001, raising their three children here and building deep connections through local sports, clubs, music programs, and the community around them.
They started Gather with a simple vision: create a welcoming place where people can come together over great food, craft drinks, live music, and genuine hospitality. A place to run into neighbors, catch up with friends, celebrate with a team, meet with a local club, or simply enjoy a night out together.
After more than two decades in the Valley, they've seen how much the community has grown and how important gathering places are to the people who live here. They also see an opportunity to welcome the many visitors who come to experience the Valley's scenery, recreation, and small-town character.
Their goal is simple: make Gather feel like the Valley's living room, a comfortable place for locals and visitors to eat, drink, connect, relax, and feel welcome.
“Creating a place that feels like the Valley's living room.”
The Place
Why North Bend
A market ready for a community destination.
Growth
A growing local community creating real, repeat demand for places to gather close to home.
I-90 Gateway
A natural stop between Seattle, the Cascades, and Eastern Washington, right on the way to everything.
Outdoor Hub
Year-round recreation at the doorstep: hiking, biking, skiing, climbing, and miles of trails.
Underserved
Few places combine diverse food, craft drinks, events, families, and outdoor gathering in one destination.
The Journey
A Gathering Place in the Making
Gather is actively working toward bringing this vision to life. The final site, layout, food truck lineup, programming, and opening timeline are all still being developed, and we're sharing the journey as it unfolds.
What you see here are early concepts and glimpses of what's coming, not finished construction. Follow along to watch it take shape.
