[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Seattle-
Hi Erin, Listen to your membership. Also, for us being near where people live is very important! It has to be just a short extra for them to go beyond either their living room or the cafe to come in. Although I know other spaces that are right in downtowns away from where people live. Our members can walk, ride their bikes or drive (but usually not far), to get to our space. For them being near home allows them to get out and actually grow connections in the community where they live which is an added bonus. One thing we don't like as much in our SF space as our MV space is that public transportation isn't as convenient. Something to think about. We used to be 4 blocks from the train and our members loved it as did we because we are a "green" space. Wishing you great luck. I will be up in Seattle the third week of November, so feel free to let me know if I can help in any other way.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Seattle
The flurry of activity was really just me, no one came forward with any interest at the time, so, as I mentioned to someone who posted resently on the coworking blog (in response to my post: http://blog.coworking.info/2006/12/08/coworking-in-seattle/) that I no longer have such an immediate need as i left my tiny apartment share and got a nice sized apartment with a living room to work in. I would still be interested in talking about coworking, but my need for a space is of more of a drop in variety at this point.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Seattle: anyone doing it? anyone interested?
I just posted a page on the wiki https://coworking.pbwiki.com/CoworkingSeattle I looked at two potential spaces today. I am ready to move on this in January if i have others to help me come up with approx $600 monthly. I am willing to put in up to 200 a month for the first 3 months to make this work, i'd like to get the cost down to $100 per person or less though. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please spread the word. On 12/7/06, Gregory Heller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I will visit the wiki and add it.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Seattle: anyone doing it? anyone interested?
I work from home in Seattle and I would be interested in co-working space, but my dog would have to come with me - she has separation anxiety. I would consider helping with start-up costs. I have owned a business and rented commercial office space in the past, so I am aware of some of the potential pitfalls. I work as a contract usability specialist doing user research and testing, mostly for Web-based applications. I also do writing of various sorts. I work part-time (semi-retired) and in Summer spend most of my time at our house in the mountains. I propose interested people get together to meet. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Seattle: anyone doing it? anyone interested?
Having now read this post, I would caution against looking for residential space. The city has ordinances about working in residential areas. It is nice to think one can work totally under the radar, but one unhappy neighbor is all it takes.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Seattle: anyone doing it? anyone interested?
That's definitely a good call -- at least abiding by ordinances if you plan to run your coworking space as a business... that said, Jelly in NYC got around this essentially by holding "home-work-parties"... heck, you can have folks over to your home and collaborate! Have you guys checked out Craigs List for like-minded souls?
