Office Nomads - September Update

Has it already been another month already? Here is the latest and greatest from the land of Office Nomads:

Get on the List Across the country around the world, coworking continues to grow and thrive. As word spreads, more and more people are coming out of the woodwork asking us how soon we can get them into a space.  Want to be sure you're in on coworking in Seattle?  Susan is compiling a waiting list for people who are sure they want in and want first rights on membership.  Drop her a line if you would like on the list:   susan@officenomads.com

Creating the Space Susan and I have spent the majority of our efforts this past month working to secure an optimal location.  Unfortunately we couldn't reach a mutually beneficial agreement with the owners of the Ballard space so we had to walk away. However, in a fun little spit of serendipity, Susan found a great place on Capital Hill while I was away at Burning Man and it turns out it was the same space I had found months ago.  The property manager there has been very helpful and with it's low build out requirements we may be able to open the doors sooner then we expected.  It's a great space (think exposed brick, lots of comfortable nooks for desks, and maybe even sushi downstairs!) in a great location and we are very excited.  With this new, slightly smaller space we're going to rework some of the membership plans - more on the new rates coming soon.  Check out the photos and location:   (http://www.officenomads.com/space2/)

Furniture Leads Huge thanks to Paul Laskowski who keyed us into a great deal on furniture.  His downtown office was going to send a number of usable desks and chairs to the landfill and we did our best to rescue them... well 16 of them.  I've talked to a few people who have heard of similar deals but we were too late to jump on them.  Keep your ears out people.  Also let us know if you happen to have some good storage space to house furniture before we can move into the space - my garage is reaching full capacity.

Creating Connections The coworking community continues to be a wonderful place for us to learn, share ideas, and build a strong network.  Today Susan and I went to Tacoma to meet with Derek Young of Suite 133 to compare notes and to hear all about the space.  They officially open October 1st and It we are anxiously tracking their developments.

That's it for now, folks.  More to come soon - stay tuned!
