If we’re being real with each other, we can recognize that very few people care to commute anymore. Life is just so much easier to manage close to home, especially when you live in Edmonds! We all love a flexible work life—and space. Nay, we require them!
Whether you’re a freelancer tired of working from your kitchen table, a startup founder scaling your team, or a remote employee who needs community, a flexible workspace offers the perfect solution that adapts to how you work.
At Workhorse Coworking in Edmonds, WA, we’ve seen firsthand how flexible workspace makes our members more productive while being close to home to coach their kids’ soccer teams, run to a lunchtime chiropractor appointment, or enjoy a walk at the Marina. Our members have entered a new era of work that ditches the rigid 9-5, but still gives them everything they need to excel at the office.
Let’s talk about why it works.
What is a Flexible Workspace?

A flexible workspace is exactly what it sounds like—a business-ready environment that adapts to your schedule and tech needs. Unlike offices with lengthy leases and fixed layouts, flexible office space offers on-demand access to professional amenities, networking opportunities, and workspace options that scale with you.
Think of it as the difference between buying a house and staying at a well-equipped hotel. You get all the benefits of a professional space—high-speed internet, conference rooms, printing capabilities, and great coffee—without the long-term commitment or overhead costs.
Typical Membership Types (and ours)

Most coworking spaces offer membership tiers, and at Workhorse, we’ve designed our options to fit different work styles and budgets:
Hot Desk Membership: Perfect for digital nomads and flexible workers who don’t need the same spot every day. You get access to any available workspace with 24/7 access to the building. It’s like having a professional office wherever you need it, whenever you need it.
Dedicated Desk: These are for you if you need a permanent workspace while still enjoying the collaborative energy of our coworking community. The price point is digestible, and you always know what you’re going to get. At Workhorse, it’s our most popular membership type.
Private Office: When you need privacy for calls, confidential work, are bringing in a teammate, or just want your own space, our private offices give you extra square footage, Virtual Office perks, and your name on the door.

Flexible Offices
The beauty of flexible office space lies in its adaptability. At Workhorse, members can book online and access different spaces based on their daily needs. Looking for a quiet spot for deep focus work or an important call? We’ve got conference rooms that members book with monthly coins. Planning a collaborative session? Our kitchen’s restaurant booths have been the hub of creativity and connection.
This flexibility extends beyond just physical space. With 24/7 access for Hot Desk members and above, you can work when inspiration strikes—whether that’s 6 a.m. on a Monday or 11 p.m. on a Saturday. No more fitting your most productive hours into someone else’s schedule.
Meeting Rooms
Professional meeting spaces are often one of the biggest pain points for remote workers and small businesses. Our three fully-equipped conference rooms can be booked online and include everything you need for client presentations, team brainstorms, or important calls.
Big screen? Check. Reliable internet? Double check. Cool space that impresses clients? You bet.
What are the benefits of a flexible office space?

The advantages of choosing flexible office space over really any alternative are compelling and measurable. According to research from the GGUC (Global Coworking Unconference Conference), 84% of coworking space users report being more engaged and motivated in their work.
Cost Effectiveness: Office leases can be prohibitive for small businesses and freelancers. Long-term commitments, utility bills, insurance, and maintenance costs add up quickly. Flexible workspace eliminates these overhead expenses, offering a predictable monthly investment that includes amenities.
Increased Productivity: The mere act of leaving your home office and entering a dedicated work environment triggers a psychological shift into “work mode.” Studies consistently show that workers report higher productivity levels in coworking environments, largely due to reduced distractions and the motivating presence of other people like them.
Amenities Included: Setting up your own office with reliable high-speed internet, printing capabilities, meeting rooms, and quality coffee can cost thousands. A flexible office space provides immediate access to these amenities without the upfront investment.
Networking and Collaboration: Unlike working from home or paying rent in Edmonds for an office, coworking spaces offer organic opportunities for connection. You might find yourself sharing insights with a startup founder, collaborating with a graphic designer, or getting advice from a seasoned bookkeeper—all within the natural flow of your workday.
Work-Life Balance: Physical separation between work and home environments significantly improves mental clarity and helps establish healthier boundaries. When you leave the space, work stays behind, allowing you to be fully present in your personal life.
Community for every type of coworker!
What truly sets Workhorse apart is our focus on community. We provide hot desks and wifi, sure, but our larger goal is to cultivate connections among Edmonds’ most entrepreneurial minds.
The diversity of our members (lawyers, data scientists, publicists, publishers, healers, an onsite SEO team, etc.) creates a rich ecosystem where ideas cross-pollinate and relationships develop naturally.
The supportive environment we’ve built helps combat the isolation that many remote workers experience. Instead of wondering if anyone notices your hard work, you’re surrounded by peers who understand the entrepreneurial journey and celebrate each other’s wins.
Workhorse Community Events
Building community requires intentional effort, which is why we host regular member events designed to bring our professional family together. From networking mixers to skill-sharing workshops, these gatherings strengthen the bonds that make coworking special.
Stay in the know about upcoming events by following us on Instagram.
Our events aren’t about business alone—we believe in celebrating the whole person. Whether it’s a coffee cupping session, a lunch-and-learn about local sustainability initiatives, or a happy hour with healthy wine pours and a view of the ferry, we want to create lasting connections that extend far beyond workspace relationships.

FAQ
What amenities are available at Workhorse?
We have high-speed (and wired) internet, three fully-equipped conference rooms, printing and scanning capabilities, ergonomic seating, premium coffee (including cold brew on tap!), phone booths, floating monitors, and a real water cooler for your water cooler conversations.
Plus, we have 24/7 access for Hot Desk members and above, so you can work whenever creativity strikes.
What kind of flexible office programs are available?
We offer several membership tiers to match your work style: Hot Desk membership for maximum flexibility, Dedicated Desks for members who prefer consistency, and Private Office options for teams or people who need their own space. All memberships can be booked online and include access to our shared amenities and community events.
Are coworking spaces and flexible offices the same?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences. Coworking spaces emphasize community and collaboration between diverse professionals, while some flexible offices focus purely on workspace rental. At Workhorse, we combine both—offering flexible office space with a strong emphasis on building meaningful, long-term professional relationships.
Do I need to own my own business to use the space?
Not at all! Our members include freelancers, remote employees, startup founders, small business owners, consultants, and anyone who needs a professional workspace. Whether you’re working for yourself or a company based elsewhere, our flexible workspace adapts to your needs.
If I’m not a member can I still attend the events?
Our member events are designed for workspace members, but we also offer a Social Membership option for local business owners who want community connection without needing a desk. For just $35/month, the Workhorse Social Membership gives you access to all educational and social events, member pricing on conference rooms, a 10% discount on hosting events, and our partnership discount program.
This membership is perfect for local business owners in Edmonds and surrounding areas (Woodway, Brier, Lynnwood, Shoreline, Bothell, Mill Creek, Poulsbo, Kingston) who run their businesses from home or their own offices but want access to our community. Think of it like a South Snohomish County + North King County business social club where you can learn, celebrate wins, and grow alongside other local entrepreneurs.
