No problem, Ron! If you haven't seen on the Coworking Seattle site, there is a coworking space in Ballard - Indie Ballard. http://www.indieballard.com/ Check it out and tell Tom I said hi! :)

Hey Ron, I hope you're able to find a space that suits you! You can take a look at http://www.coworkingseattle.org for more spaces around town. We're a small group of spaces now, but hope that more and more spaces will come on board. As for our value-add, the best way to get a sense of the value to an individual workers is to ask them. You can read member profiles on our website or come on in and chat with folks. But the truth is that coworking works because people need it. Not everyone, but a good population of folks who simply work better in our spaces. As for our growth I'd be happy to chat with you about the financing aspect, but I assure you we're growing in a smart, sustainable way and don't plan to burn out anytime soon. :) Thanks to Ruth & Laura for chiming in on the benefits of coworking!

Hi Annie!
Depending on what you're looking for, you could also check out one of the local coworking spaces throughout Seattle to give you a stepping-stone between working from home and renting your own office. Sometimes these arrangements can work out really well for folks who are not quite yet ready to be locked into a lease but really need to be in a more professional environment. You can check out what is available at http://wiki.coworking.com/CoworkingSeattle.
Best of luck!!
Susan

Great suggestions, Lidia!
One other recommendation I'd have for you & anyone else reading is to branch out and get to know the coworking community in your neck of the woods! Coworking spaces are a great way to jump out of your "work at home" mindset and saddle up alongside other indies and get some work done together! Typically they attract lots of creative, intelligent folks who just prefer being out and working with others as opposed to isolating themselves at home.
You can find info on all sorts of coworking spaces via the wiki: http://wiki.coworking.info. You can see spaces near you here: http://wiki.coworking.info/CoworkingChicago.
Best of luck to you!

Way to rock the SHINE, Biznik! Such an incredible feat to accomplish - you all should be so proud. I was just stoked to be a part of the extravaganza! Your volunteer crew was absolutely unreal - very professional, very helpful, and all seemed to have a great grasp of how the event should flow. Congrats to you all - I hope you're still resting in bed after such a big night!
