Hello

[mattw]

Hi, I'm Matt Westervelt, and I'm introducing myself to the list. I
recently (last month) started a space in Seattle that can be
classified as a co-working space. It's Metrix Create:Space, and
although it isn't quite office space, it is a shared work space for
crafters and makers. We have electronics supplies, a laser cutter, 3d
printer, vented soldering area and lots and lots of tools. It's a
bit like a hackerspace, but open to the public at large and designed
to be a comfortable place to work on projects.

Jacob (at office nomads) suggested I get in contact with other
coworking spaces, and I've been following from afar for a while. I'm
definitely interested in seeing what is going on in other cities, in
Seattle, and with coworking as a whole.

Very cool. Do you know Bre Petis et al at:

Or the good people at SF's TechShop?

You can also reach out to:

http://thehacktory.org & http://www.hive76.org
Two crafter/hacker/maker studios in Philadelphia inspired by Make: Magazine and Make:Philly.

And http://nextfabstudio.com, opening in just a few weeks in University City Philadelphia as a fabrication studio targeting mixed use of hacker/maker types and industry experts needing rapid prototyping equipment and fabrication.

They're all operated differently, with tweaks on the business model around access to space, equipment, and community.

I do know Bre and a bunch of the hackerspace crowd. I haven't talked with any of the techshop people.   Their scale, although awesome just kind of twists my brain.

Very cool....we have had a few inquiries into that kind of space in
San Francisco from local artists, but haven't found a way to merge
the two.

Good luck!
