Over the course of the last few years, traditional work environments have evolved, and many companies have started to allow employees to work remotely and have more flexible schedules.

If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, a coworking space is an environment that is designed to accommodate workers from different professions, backgrounds, and companies to share office space, equipment, utilities and more. Coworking spaces are collaborative hubs that members of the community can utilize as a hybrid workplace or creative space, with a social aspect that is great for networking and building relationships with other professionals in their community.

Tacoma’s workforce is diverse, robust, and the need for flexible work environments is greater than ever before. Downtown Tacoma is home to a number of coworking offices that meet the needs of professionals by offering unique work atmospheres with great amenities.
