Thanks everyone for sharing!

On Tuesday we meet with our friends from the Seattle Collaborative Space Alliance, a bunch of Coworking space owners, founders, managers and members at WeWorks, a new, super fancy Coworking space in South Lake Union.

This month was a social meetup (alternating with business meetings) and we went on a tour led by WeWork's Gina, synced notes, welcomed some newbies, chitchatted and enjoyed a nice Vietnamese buffet and the WeWorks keg. Thank you, WeWorks!
