Hi all! Does anyone know of a shared woodworking space for rent in or near Seattle?
I’m moving to a house without a garage soon and I’d love to have a place to set up shop. I do woodworking / van building as a hobby, so it’d be really hard to justify leasing an entire warehouse (and many of the shared warehouse spaces I’ve seen don’t allow woodworking because of the dust), but some sort of “woodworking co-working space” where I could rent a 15x15 or 20x20 area to set up shop would be awesome! Even better if I could lease a spot with a garage door / place to store my van while I’m working on it. Not necessarily looking for tool rentals etc, I have all my own stuff, just soon won’t have anywhere to put it
Is Good Woodworks is the only place I know who rents space (also a friend of the group). He offers a pretty complete set of big machines and you can store projects there if you’re a member. No van space that I’m aware of.
It depends on where exactly you live. There are co-working spaces all over the city. Several advertise on Craigslist and Facebook Market place. I used IsGood Woodworks for several months and liked it.
