"Overlooking the Willamette in Industrial Northeast, Knot Springs is a social club, wellness center, and gym that successfully draws affluent thirty-somethings willing to pay up to $500 a month to use amenities like a 47-degree plunge pool and a steam room with seasonal scent blends; I’ve sat in that steam room and found it delightful, and I’m going back for my birthday — it still feels very Portland to me, a wellness-centered social club with a high price tag." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
