Co-working and living spaces in Portland, OR?

3 points by tommaxwell 12 years ago | 3 comments

Hi HNers,

I'm starting a new blog which will cover co-working and living spaces, as well as the people that use them. I plan on relying heavily on photo essays, textual blog posts, and video; travel will be necessary.

My question is, can anyone here recommend co-working spaces that I should check out in Portland? And if so, could any of you put me in touch with those behind the spaces, so I could get the chance to talk to them and potentially visit their spaces?

For my background on what I'm doing with this project, check out the crowdfunding campaign: http://forcerealfundraising.com/nomadic-hackers

There are a lot of co-working locations in Portland and I think the list continues to grow. There are all types from small startups, incubators, and hackerspaces. It has been a few years since I was involved in Portland's tech community but here are a few I can remember: OTBC: http://www.otbc.org/ Nedspace: http://nedspace.com/ PIE: http://www.piepdx.com/ Portland Startup Incubator: http://www.pdx.edu/accelerator/ Collective Agency: http://collectiveagency.co/ Flux: http://fluxlab.io/ ADX: http://www.adxportland.com/

Silicon Florist is the premier blog on Portland's startup scene. http://siliconflorist.com/

Calagator is an aggregator for events: http://calagator.org/

Calagator also provides a list of venues: http://calagator.org/venues?all=1
