Coworking in Seattle

I’ve been following the growth of coworking for a little while now. Watching as more and more cities pop up on the list and the wiki, I’ve decided to throw my hat into the ring. My firm, CivicActions is a totally virtual company with no offices anywhere. I have been working from Seattle, mostly, over the last few months, and have decided I need to get out of the house. Unfortunately I am addicted to a second monitor and averse to the sound of coffee grinders and loud cell phone talkers making the cafe circuit and impractical solution for me.

Today I started looking for suitable spaces to start a coworking space. I have found two with promise, so far. I need coworkers though! I figure that $100 a month is about what coworking is worth to me, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. I’ve got a few potential office spaces in this one location in Fremont that would work if there were 5 to 10 people willing to pay in monthly for a space.

Some details on the space: 450 sqr ft in an office building, it’s divided into 3 rooms, 2 that are like “private” offices (with windows to the outside and frosted windows to the inside) and then one large room that is interior only. Rent: about $600 a month on a month to month lease, all utils except internet are included. I’d estimate $60 for internet monthly from speakeasy.net. We’d probably need to paint and get some furniture, so there might be an “initiation” fee to raise that capital. I know I am getting ahead of myself, but this is how serious I am about getting this going.

All I need are some people! So if you know of anyone in the Seattle area who might be interested in a full time, or part time coworking arrangement, send them my way! Fremont is in northern Seattle. This place is on 40th street and Aurora (hwy 99), a 10 minute walk from lots of shops, a few minutes walk from some buses and Fremont Ave.

See the wiki for these same details and to add your ideas and thoughts.

  1. Hi,

    Did you have any luck with a coworking space? I’m in Seattle and have been trying to find the same sort of thing.

    Thanks,

    Eric.

  3. I passed on the space on Aurora because of a lack of interest. I’ve since moved back down to capital hill and my immediate pressing need for a coworking space has diminished. I am still very much interested in seeing something arise and have a few ideas. Maybe we should plan a time to get together and try to get some other folks interested?

  9. We are opening a coworking space on November 1st on Capitol Hill. Come by and check us out and see if it’s a right fit. It’s still early so it’s a great opportunity to get in while we are sill developing.
