“Best coworking space in Seattle for creatives and freelancers. “The Collective” as it’s known internally, is a tight-knit community that offers a a unique coworking experience different from a traditional corporate space. Membership includes more than just a desk and free coffee - you become part of a network of like-minded freelancers that support each-other as you grow. I’ve been a member for 3 years and the space just moved to Ballard. The new location is incredible, and it’s right across the street from breweries and blocks away from Market. While full-time desks are limited (highly sought after), part time membership plans are available and include much of the same perks and benefits. There’s also monthly events that are curated specifically for freelancers. If you’re a freelancer / creative looking for a community and place to collaborate, the free trial week is a great way to see what it’s all about.”
“After a stint in Vegas doing entertainment photography, I needed some time back home to decide where life would take me next. Post Productions needed an office and home-base, and CC was the perfect landing pad. I grew up here (on the Eastside), but was embarrassingly unfamiliar with Seattle proper. The wonderful peeps at the collective made me feel so at home and supported, that it was just too good to leave. They are a big reason I ended up staying in Seattle, and I’m forever grateful I found this community!”
MORE THAN JUST A SPACE
“I love Collective Chemistry! I find it exceedingly difficult to work from home. Thanks to the community here, this place feels like a second home, but one where I can actually manage to get work done.”
