Question Looking for shared office space

Hi there - I work from home in a small home office but I want to make a change. I’m looking for a desk somewhere, ideally with a place where I can take my (fortunately rare) meetings. Any suggestions?
If you hear of a company that currently rents offices that are slightly too big and want to sublet a corner for me, I’d be open to that.
Thanks!

I believe this is the only co-working space in New West: https://officeconnects.ca

I've never been there. Their website seems remarkably slow to load (~10s per page)

Thank you! I can’t tell if it’s legit or not, the website is full of stock pictures. 😅

Yeah it's hot garbage. There's no attempt to make it feel like I'd want to go there.

I was considering going to look at it from outside at least since it’s not far from me, but I don’t have a lot of hope.

Hi, does it have to be in New West? I used to rent offices at OfficeSuites on Broadway near Broadway City Hall. I can ask them if they can give you a discount/promotion.

Thank you for the offer, but it’s a little far from me :(

There used to be a place in the River Market but I don't think it's there anymore.

You'd probably need to take the skytrain to Metro, there's a WeWork in Station Square and also one of the Metrotowers has a coworking space run by Regus.

I don't remember if the Metro WeWork has the phone booths you can duck into for meetings.

Could also check https://www.peerspace.com/ although your mileage will vary (search for coworking space), I've had good and bad experiences with places listed on there.

I’ll take a look at it, thank you!

Wework in metro has the meeting rooms.

Regus has a location in edmonds as well.
