WeWork South Lake Union

Twice I’ve come to We Work for continuing education purposes and twice I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great people, easy to find location, and a very comfortable atmosphere for learning. I believe in what they are trying to accomplish in the way of a non-​conventional educational system, and hope to be back more often to partake in more great courses and classes offered.

Best place to work… ever. WEWORK is more of a movement and community than it is office space. Being able to collaborate with, and meet other start-​ups in this environment is really awesome. It’s places like this that are cultivating and growing companies of the future.

WeWork offers up some of the coolest co-​working spaces anywhere. They have taken the design aesthetic used in the top tech companies and applied it here. It feels like it could be a Google or Twitter or LinkedIn office, and not some staid corporate looking place. In this particular WeWork, there’s kegerators loaded up with local microbrew! How cool is that?

Love love this place. It’s perfect if you have an idea and you want to work on it, it’s great for startups, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and everyone who is tired of doing work from home or a random coffee shop everyday. The community here is amazing, tons of events that help you network and meet people from different disciplines that are always willing to help you or offer you their time.
Happy Hour every thursday, free lunch from sponsors at least once a week, ping pong table, foosball table, lounges, sofas, free coffee, tea and BEER!
Did i mention the awesome people that you meet on daily basis, people passionate about their ideas and startups, and their passion is simply contagious.
Definitely worth checking out.

As an entrepreneur I love being independent and getting things done. However being a member at WeWork since May2013 has truly transformed my life. I originally came in here to get a space to work and get organized so that I can properly grow my businesses. In addition to getting a space, I received an amazing community of like minded, goal oriented individuals. People who shared the similar journey from nothing to something. PASSION!
WeWork provides a safe space to grow and connect with fellow entrepreneurs. the energy draws me in everyday. No Seattle Freeze (unless you’re drinking it one of the cocktails I make, shameless plug#1), guards down! I recommend this place for any and everyone who wants to grow personally or professionally.
The Glue: WeWork fosters the community with all the different types of events they host and support. Office hours by local companies offering advice and support, Weekly Happy hours organized by me (Owner of LUCID Craft Services, Shameless plug#2) Most importantly the team here listens.
The Basics: ²⁴⁄₇ Access, conference rooms, networking opportunities, productive environment, unlimited coffee & local beer (Stocked by me, shameless plug #3).

Five fat stars! People get paid to work because working isn’t fun. Or usually it isn’t, right? But WeWork is an incredible co-​working space where everyone is having fun on the job. Basically an office for people who work remotely, this space is your dream workspace!
The entire space is spotless, it covers a few floors and hundreds of people are there at any given time. But it’s not crowded! You can rent private offices in varying sizes, you can rent desk space, you can even book meeting rooms and conference rooms and if you need to hop on a call there are booths for that too. Literally every work-​related need is met here. Fast wifi, clean bathrooms, and best of all, kitchens and active spaces. From ping pong to foosball, there’s a lot of stuff to do here between meetings and work time.
Socializing is important there and the WeWork team has worked hard to create not just a place to work, but a place to network and socialize. There are happy hour events for members and local businesses come and participate by offering food and drinks. It’s quite spectacular!
If you work from home you’d be crazy not to come here for a free quick tour.

This place is pretty sweet – and definitely a cut above the typical collab/​shared workspaces one gets used to seeing. If you’re a heavy beer drinker, it may almost pay for itself, as they have Manny’s on draft, in addition to (good) coffee and some decent snacks on the honor system. The place is very well appointed, and I’m told each link in the chain (it’s a decently-​sized franchise) has its own visual style based on its location (winches and ropes add rustic nautical touches to the Seattle one, and there are fish and other tongue-​in-​cheek northwestern motifs worked into their custom wallpapers.
I was lucky enough to have friends in high places, one of whom is a member here and used one of his monthly credits so that I could host a client meeting in their conference room. It was great – anything you could need was provided for, and if you have a steady stream of freelance work, I think it would be terrific to work and host meetings here.
If you have a more sporadic workflow (feast or famine is a pretty familiar theme for freelancers at times), month-​to-​month arrangements can be made – no yearly commitment.
I’ll be considering it in the next few months, and if you find that too much work in your briefs has compromised your ability to construct sentences with your fellow man/​woman, this is an upbeat and sociable workplace away from home.

WOW, what a beautiful co-​working space. I spend half my life at one in SF, so I am super familiar with them, and this one blows most of the Weworks in SF out of the water. As of May 2014, it is a few months old and not yet filled. Private office spaces are have either windows or glass walls, with frosted glass at eye-​level when seated, for some distraction relief. Communal space is gorgeous and lined with art. The open desk space looks under construction, so I hope the final space is nice, though at the moment it looks like the reading area of a plain library. The entire space has a modern yet comfortable ambiance.

This is a fun office space for entrepreneurs, creative, startups and those needing a fun, different office space to work. The office is new, clean, modern and has a open space lounge as well as smaller offices to sit and work. They do have beer fin the common area as well.
Overall, it’s a nice place where you can enjoy networking with other entrepreneurs, start ups but also work quietly within your own space. They seem to have different types of services available (e.g. monthly).
The only thing I don’t like is that it’s in SLU area and is not as accessible by bus as I’d have liked. But overall, it’s a very nice work space to check out if you are considering having one outside of your home!

So, what can I say about a place where I can come to make my money? I spent a few weeks looking at coworking spaces where I could escape the solitude that was my house.
Yes, working remote has it’s benefits, but it makes you a crazy person. Let me just say that there are standard coworking spaces, and then there’s WeWork. It’s on a whole different level.
Smiley, cheery staff. Fresh, brand new space. Glass EVERYWHERE, and a full keg of Manny’s, on every floor. Oh, did I mention about the keg? Yeah, that’s right, Beer, but not just any beer. GOOD beer.
So, if you’re like me, work remote all the time, and need to escape the communication-​people skill sucking hole that is your home office. Choose WeWork. If not for the people, come for the beer. Oh yeah, you get a desk, can’t forget to mention that.
