Workhorse Coworking

What Workhorse Coworking does

Workhorse Coworking is a single-location coworking and flexible workspace operator based in Edmonds, Washington. Founded in March 2020 by Dr. Larry Maurer and Dr. Lew Estabrook — owners of the Waterworks Building since 2018 — the company opened as the first coworking community in Edmonds and has scaled to 200+ members. Its physical footprint is a barn-chic industrial-designed space at 123 2nd Ave. S Suite 230, featuring reclaimed brick, steel, leather, polished concrete, and wood finishes, plus a 1,500 sq ft event space, three named conference rooms (Seahorse, Clydesdale, Tack), phone booths, hard-wired fiber internet, and UHD monitors.

The company's product surface spans three core recurring memberships (Private Offices from $600/month, Dedicated Desk at $300/month with a waitlist, and Hot Desk at $200/month, each requiring a one-year commitment) plus Day Passes ($30/day, first free), a Local Business Membership combining virtual office and hot desk lite features, Virtual Office/Virtual Mail tiers (Basic and Plus), Conference Room Rental, Event Space Rental ($125-$200/hour), and monthly Parking ($150). Operations are run on the Officernd booking platform with Spheremail powering virtual mail services. Distribution is a hybrid of self-serve website signup for day passes, on-site tours for memberships, and an inquiry-based flow for event bookings.

Workhorse serves remote workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and select corporate teams (e.g., employees of Feld Entertainment, Beresford Booth, WireScreen) across Edmonds and broader Snohomish County (Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Everett). Revenue is generated primarily through subscription memberships supplemented by transaction-based event, conference room, parking, and virtual office income. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: regular lunch-and-learns, mixers, workshops, member spotlights, and referral-driven acquisition, supplemented by blog content marketing and organic social on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn. The business is bootstrapped, founder-owned, and operates with a 1-10 employee footprint.
