Ballard is one of those Seattle neighborhoods where people like to linger. The corner of 15th Avenue NW and NW Market Street keeps a steady stream of buses and bikes moving past, and right above it, on the top floor of 1448 NW Market St, sits a WeWork with a roof deck of its own.
Whether you’re dropping in with a laptop for the day or scouting a home for a growing team, the building has room for you. And once the work is done, Ballard is right outside the door.
Meet me at 15th & Market
Getting here is stress-free. The bus stop at 15th Ave NW & NW Market St is about a minute’s walk from the door, served by the RapidRide D Line and routes 40, 44, 17, 18, and 29. If you live along any of those lines, your commute might be shorter than the wait at your favorite coffee shop.
Prefer two wheels? This address has a Bike Score of 97, so cycling in is easy. Plus, its Walk Score of 98 puts it firmly in “Walker’s Paradise” territory, with most errands and lunch plans within walking distance of the door.
Driving in from the Seattle suburbs? Onsite parking is available, so your car commute is just as easy.
The view from the top floor
WeWork 1448 NW Market St is on the top floor of a five-story building completed in 2019, bringing a fresh, modern feel to the workspace.
The floor blends open areas with private offices, making it easy to shift between different work environments. Settle into a shared space when you’re in the mood for some background buzz, then move somewhere more enclosed once the deep work starts.
Before any of that, stop by the kitchen. Coffee, tea, seltzers, and filtered water are all on hand, whether you need a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon refill.
A workspace for every kind of week
So, how much space do you need? That depends on how your week looks, and this building covers most versions of it:
- A day pass lets you pop in for a change of scenery from your home office, no membership needed.
- WeWork All Access suits regulars who want to come in often and book a spot when they need one.
- A dedicated desk is yours every day, so you can leave your setup exactly where it is.
- Private offices come fully furnished for teams of one to 100+.
For freelancers, a day pass is the low-stakes way to see whether Ballard suits your workday. Founders get room to grow, moving from a desk to a private office as the team expands without signing a long-term lease. For small- to mid-size businesses, a private office or a full floor gives your people a proper company home right at 15th & Market.
Rooms for pitches and workshops
Some meetings can happen on a video call. The one where you’re making a big pitch usually can’t. For those high-stakes moments with a prospective client, book a meeting room by the hour and print the proposal on a business-class printer before they arrive. If the Wi-Fi acts up at the worst possible moment, IT support is on hand to sort it out.
For shorter calls, the phone booths give you a door to close and much-needed privacy.
Running something bigger? The building has event spaces equipped with sound systems and lighting controls, a good fit for a workshop or a training session.
Up on the roof deck
If one feature sets this building apart, it’s the roof deck. Being on the top floor has its perks, and this is the biggest one.
Take a phone call out there when you need to pace while you talk, or eat lunch in the open air on a dry Seattle day (they do happen). Even ten minutes outside between meetings can send you back to your desk with a clearer head.
When the workday winds down, the deck makes a good spot for a member meetup, where conversation tends to flow more easily than it does around a conference table.
Bring the dog along
Some details tell you a building was designed for an amenity-rich experience.
1448 NW Market St is dog-friendly, so your four-legged colleague can spend the day at your feet instead of waiting by the door at home. Cyclists get bike storage, which makes that Bike Score of 97 feel a lot more practical.
Coming back to work after a new baby is a big adjustment, and the private parent’s room helps make it a smoother one. Plus, the lockable wellness room offers a quiet place to step away when the day gets heavy.
Ballard after you log off
What’s waiting outside once you log off for the day?
The Ballard Locks are close by and make for an easy after-work stroll, especially when boats are moving through. Head to nearby Golden Gardens Park for its sandy beach and wide views of Puget Sound, a favorite spot for catching the sunset.
Come the weekend, the Ballard Farmers Market gives you another reason to return to the neighborhood, with local produce and food stalls lining the street every Sunday. It’s no wonder professionals who work in Ballard end up spending their free time here, too.
Seattle, Bellevue, and beyond
Think of 1448 NW Market St as your home base, not your only option. With WeWork All Access, you can work in downtown Seattle at 1201 3rd Ave, the Holyoke Building, or Hawk Tower, or head to the Eastside at Bellevue Place or Sunset North.
The same membership also opens WeWork locations around the world, so a business trip doesn’t mean hunting for a decent place to work.
