Attention City of Portland workers, get ready to upgrade your outdoor gear with a special offer just for you: Columbia Sportswear is throwing open the doors to its Employee Store from August 22 to September 14, 2025. According to the announcement on the City of Portland's official website, eligible employees will receive a 40% discount storewide and could find themselves snagging up to 70% off on select items, all while supplies last, stocked with the latest season offerings from Columbia, SOREL, Mountain Hardwear, and prAna.
Getting in on this deal is simple, but don’t forget your proof of affiliation—such as a city badge, business card, or pay stub—which must be shown along with your digital invite, either printed or on a mobile device. Misplace that invite, and you might miss out on the deals designed for city employees and their guests—yes, you can bring up to four friends or family members along for the shopping spree. Employees can find the necessary digital invites available for download on the same webpage, with options for a personal pass or a shareable one for friends and family.
Bear in mind, this offer is a brick-and-mortar exclusive, meaning those looking to snag these deals will need to visit in person as online shopping carts will keep ringing up full price. Information about the Columbia Store Pass for City of Portland Employees can be found easily with a quick visit to the city's benefits page, do yourself a favor and prep for your next adventure while the offer lasts.
