West Seattle Coworking

The location here is great, being right by a coffee shop and some cafés. The people that run this place are really nice and helpful though it sounds like they usually have a waiting list or just a few openings at a time. I compared this location to the Work and Play Lounge in the junction, and neither were right for me right now, but I could see them working for a lot of people. I think they will both work well for somebody that does mostly heads down work, I would always feel like I was disturbing people since my role is more client facing and on a lot of calls consistently. If you’re comparing this place to the Work and Play Lounge, this one has monitors you can plug into, two or three rooms for taking calls or a private space, and seems to have some kind of community focus to start meeting people that live near you. Not sure if this changes by season, but there’s not great lighting here, whereas work and play has a view and more natural light. Unfortunately neither of the co-working spaces in the area where I live we’re going to work for me and I ended up taking the water taxi over the WeWork downtown to avoid a Bellevue or Ballard commute in a car. Probably would’ve went with this business due to its location if they had telephone booths or better call taking options like WeWork does. Great to support local company if this space works for you though.
