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.
we fuel Seattles black creator economy future
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.
