A new co-working company just opened in Seattle, and its founder wants to rewrite the rules of a concept that is growing like crazy, but primarily targets only a few industries.
Traditionally, co-working is thought of as a trend reserved primarily for the technology industry, a series of small flexible office spaces for startups getting their feet under them. Atlas Workbase is a co-working company that is aimed at everyone, from technology startups to more traditional businesses, to traveling workers who just need an office for a couple days.
Atlas this month opened its first location, a 20,000-square-foot space with a variety of office and desk setups at 500 Mercer, just a few blocks west of Amazon’s Seattle headquarters.
