About
SaunaGlo is a community sauna on SE Jefferson Street in downtown Milwaukie, near the Willamette River. Its wooden Nordic sauna holds up to 18 people, and a riser lift lets wheelchair users reach the upper bench. Between rounds there is a barrel cold plunge and a bucket shower, and swimwear is required.
Good to know
- Runs aufguss sessions: a guided löyly ritual where an attendant fans the steam around the room on a schedule.
- Bar on premises: drinks alongside (or after) the session, and the venue isn't dry like most outdoor sauna setups.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Mixed sauna: men and women share the room, in every session or on set days.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
- Women-only sauna: the venue has a women's side or room, or runs set women-only sessions.
