Welcome to Coworking Seattle

    Coworking Seattle is dedicated to connecting and enhancing Seattle's coworking community.  Through this site, our Google Group, and regular events, we hope to create as many opportunities as possible for space owners, coworkers, and space catalysts to learn from one another and build better coworking communities.  We believe in coordinating our efforts and collaborating for the collective strength of coworking spaces in Seattle.

What is coworking?

    Coworking means different things to different people although one pattern remains true.  Coworking is about making the personal choice to work along side other people instead of in isolation.  For some, coworking is all about the accelerated serendipity that comes from individuals intermixing in person as opposed to online.  For others it’s the motivation and accountability gained from working within a set of peers.  And sometimes it’s just a reason to put on some pants and get out of the house in the morning.  Regardless of the definition, coworking is a powerful and exciting way to work, and it’s making some big waves.  What started as a simple idea by Brad Neuberg back in 2005 has grown into an inspiring movement that is spreading throughout the world. 

Coworking or co-working?

    This is a matter for much debate.  Most people from outside the coworking community, especially journalists, think it should have a hyphen.  They seem to think it’s easier to read that way.  The coworking community is pretty adamant that the word does not have a hyphen.
