Common Ground Wellness Cooperative

5010 NE 33rd Ave, Portland, OR

Common Ground Wellness Cooperative is a worker-owned community sauna and bathhouse in northeast Portland's Concordia neighborhood, operating as a co-op since 1979 — making it one of the oldest community sauna spaces in the country. The facility offers a salt-water bathhouse with hot tubs, a Finnish-style sauna, cold plunge, and a quiet lounge area, all priced for accessibility rather than luxury. The format is decidedly anti-luxury — drop-in pricing around $20-30, no front-desk upsells, and a co-op governance structure. Massage and acupuncture are bookable separately. The crowd skews neighborhood regulars and folks who treat the soak as a weekly ritual. Best fit for someone in Northeast Portland who wants regular, affordable bathhouse access without the boutique-spa overhead. The co-op model and 45-year history make this a Portland institution. Closed Wednesday mornings.
