YOUR SPACE TO CREATE & CONNECT

The Union is a Black-owned & operated community, coworking, and media production space purpose-built to support educators, entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives on their journey in business with a focus on creator economy growth.

OUR PURPOSE

CULTIVATING COMMUNITY, COMMERCE, CREATIVITY & CULTURE SINCE 2018

We Are Rooted In Cooperative economics

For as long as there have been Africans in America, there have been numerous examples of Black social, cultural and economic solidarity. Often formed in response to systemic exclusion and economic stagnation, cooperative economics is how we #getonPACE

Established in 2018, The Union is the first black-owned and longest-running modern co-working & creator space in the PNW. Originally founded to house our education programs, we quickly grew to include media capabilities to support our communities' needs beyond education. This modular space supports education, events, business and everything in between.

Our founders came to the region for lucrative employment opportunities at local companies. However, when they arrived they found it difficult to plug into a "familiar" community. Leaning on their HBCU roots, The Union was created as a sort of professionals club house. A place they could gather to kick back, or lean-in by working together on business, community, or creative pursuits. Today we boost a strong membership of local entrepreneurs and artists sharing space to design their future and nurture the community we have created Downtown Seattle.

In 2020 we expanded our mission beyond education and co-working to include full content media production. As our need to keep pace with the trends in digital marketing grew, so did our facilities offerings. In the early days many of our members needed a place to record a podcast, an interview, or have a photoshoot. Realizing the growth in this need we completely remodeled our space to take advantage of every nook and corner. This remodel created over 15 production sets that can be used from podcasts to documentary filming.

We Are Space Creators

We offer modular co-working space, a fully equipped multimedia studio, and welcoming areas for events, learning and growth. Take a look at the thoughtfully curated spaces we have created to unlock your creativity.

I can easily go from working with my remote software team then easily transition to shooting support content to support my content strategy.
