EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form

is being filed for the purpose of registering 1,503,815 new shares of common
stock, no par value per share (the "
Common Stock
"), of Zumie Inc., a Washington corporation (the "
Registrant
"), that may be issued to participants under the Registrant's 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"
2023 Plan
") that were not previously registered pursuant to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form
S-8
(file
No. 333-196347)
filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "
Commission
") on May 29, 2014 (the "
Prior Registration Statement
") with respect to shares of the Common Stock issuable under the Registrant's 2014 Equity
Incentive Plan (the "
2014 Plan
").
Effective as of May 31, 2023 (the "
Effective Date
"), no further awards will be

forfeiture of the awards or settlement of the awards for cash, will also become available for issuance under the 2023 Plan (the "
Rollover Shares
" and, together with the Remaining Shares, the "
Previously Registered
Shares
"). The Registrant filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Prior Registration Statement concurrently with this registration statement with respect to all such Previously Registered Shares.
This Registration Statement on Form
S-8
is also being filed for the purpose of registering 580,000 shares of common
stock, no par value per share, of the Registrant that may be issued to participants under the Registrant's 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together with the 2023 Plan, the "

the content of the Prior Registration Statement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Registration Statement on Form
S-8.

"), other than any information the Registrant furnishes, rather than files, with the Commission, subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that

Any statement contained in this Registration Statement or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement will be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement modifies or supersedes that statement. Any statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business Corporation Act (the "
WBCA
") authorize Washington corporations to
indemnify and advance expenses to directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation under certain circumstances against liabilities and expenses incurred in legal proceedings involving such individuals because of their being or having been
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Section 23B.08.560 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to agree to so indemnify and obligate itself to advance or reimburse expenses without regard to the limitations of
Section 23B.08.510 through 23B.08.550 of the WBCA; provided, however, that no such indemnity shall be made for or on account of any:
•
acts or omissions of the director, officer, employee or agent finally adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law;
•
conduct of the director, officer, employee or agent finally adjudged to be in violation of
Section 23B.08.310 of the WBCA (which section relates to unlawful distributions); or
•
transaction with respect to which it was finally adjudged that such director, officer, employee or agent
personally received a benefit in money, property, or services to which the director, officer, employee or agent was not legally entitled.
Furthermore, Section 23B.08.320 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to limit a director's liability to the corporation or its shareholders for
monetary damages for acts or omissions as a director, except in certain circumstances involving (1) acts or omissions of a director that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (2) conduct violating
Section 23B.08.310 of the WBCA (which section relates to unlawful distributions) or (3) any transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled.
The Registrant's articles of incorporation provide that it shall indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the WBCA, subject to
exceptions, and require that the Registrant advance expenses for such persons pursuant to its bylaws or a separate directors' resolution or contract. The bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors, officers and employees
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and also provide that the Registrant may indemnify its agents. The Registrant's bylaws also provide that it may, or in certain cases must, provide advances for expenses to such indemnified
individuals who are parties to such a proceeding. The Registrant's articles of incorporation provide that a director shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or to any of its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director,
subject to the limitations set forth in the articles of incorporation. The Registrant's bylaws also provide that it may maintain, at its expense, insurance to protect the Registrant and an indemnified director, officer, employee or agent
against any liability, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such director, officer, employee or agent against the same liability under Sections 23B.08.510 or 23B.08.520 of the WBCA.
The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers
to effectuate the provisions discussed above and to purchase director and officer liability insurance. The effect of such provisions is to indemnify the Registrant's directors and officers against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by
them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they are involved by reason of their affiliation with the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Undertakings.
A.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; and
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or
any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (1)(a) and
(1)(b) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
