About Us

MTB HQ may be a new shop, but our team and location has served Washington for many years.

Our story begins with Northwest Bicycle in 2016. Jackson Slotemaker, owner and founder of MTB HQ, became employee #2 just after opening. From 2016-2017, Jackson worked his was up from a basic mechanic to Service Manager before Highschool graduation.

From 2017-2020, Jackson would come back on weekends during the winter and ran the store for the summers when returning from college.

2020 saw the start of Covid, but this was also the start of Jackson fully managing the store. From March of 2020 to June of 2023, Jackson did everything from wrenching on service bikes to ordering stock and keeping our customers happy.

July of 2023 is the beginning of a new chapter for Snoqualmie's only bike shop. We plan on continuing the great service, stock and customer support you have come to know and love, just with a new name on the building and bills. Rest assured this team is experienced and ready to continue serving the local and extended communities.
