What are the community focused co-working spaces in the Seattle metro? I'm currently in Redmond.

Hundreds rallied in #Seattle against an anti-LGBTQ+ rally, facing arrests by police. The Mayor justified this violence, falsely claiming anarchists had "infiltrated" the demonstration. Democratic politicians work to divide our movements + justify repression.
The rally featured Matt Shea who "planned + promoted three armed conflicts of political violence" between 2014 + 2016."
"Shea [advocated a] "holy war"... + replacing the government with a theocracy and "the killing of all males who do not agree."

The Full Flower Moon rising over Seattle last night.
The Algonquin tribes named the full moon in May after the flowers that are abundant this time of year.

On this #FlashbackFriday look back at the historic solar storm of May 10th last year, a rare, magical alignment of Big Dipper with the dazzling Corona Borealis.

Tonight I’m joining the #Seattle anti-ICE protest being held at Cal Anderson, which began at 7pm.
Since military force had been deployed in LA already, I’ll be bringing my humble camera equipment, but for OPSEC purposes I am not collecting general protest footage or conducting interviews.
Feel free to say hi if you see me! And stay safe out there, fam.
And if you’re on site and can point me to someone with medical supplies, I’d appreciate it. Mine have gone missing.
My previous intro post was a few years old, so behold, new intro post:
Mike. Live in the Seattle area having grown up in the UK as a full blown British. Have a wife (incredible), child (boy), and three dogs (golden retriver/cream retriver/fuck knows).
I work in information security, something I have done for about 20 years. By day I run corporate security, enterprise IT and various other bits and pieces for an EV charging startup. I am big into EV's and currently drive one that is not a Tesla. I want an electric motorbike, so if anyone has a spare one please send it.
I also have a company of my own, Secure Being (https://securebeing.com), which does pen testing and digital forensic work - it's my way of staying super hands on while still doing the management bits on the career path.
I have written books about information security things. Five of them. Two are non-fiction textbooks, and three are fiction based on real world #infosec things. Check out https://infosecdiaries.com and your local bookstore to find them, just search for my name. I have been trying to write more stuff, but always seem to find myself distracted by other things, such as work. linktr.ee/secureowl has some mini stories I've written.
I love radio and everything RF. I have lots of antennas and various scanners and radios on my desk. I love intercepting and decoding things, like digital radio protocols.
I am a big aviation nerd. I always wanted to be a commercial pilot. I gained my private pilots license in the UK at 17, all self funded by my employment at the local Safeway/Morrisons store. I did the sim test and commercial assessments, but for some reason, at 18, I was unable to find the £100k needed to complete the commercial training, so I did computers. But do not worry, because those computers and love of aviation and radio/RF combined, and I run a project called ACARS Drama. https://acarsdrama.com has all the details.
I play guitar and am a big guitar/audio nerd as well. I record music under the moniker Operation: Anxiety, https://operationanxiety.com - the music is on all the normal places.
Finally, I am a massive fan of motorsport. I believe I have watched every F1 race for the last 30 years, maybe 25. I also follow F2, FE, Indycar and MotoGP closely. I average around 18 hours of Le Mans 24 hour racing watching per year.
So there you have it. If you are looking for a thought leader on the topics mentioned above, you've come to the wrong place - because this is where I shitpost, and shitposting is cheap therapy.

I want this for the retrofuturist movie I will never actually make.
It is currently up for _free_ on #seattle Craigslist and would make one hell of a set piece if you are that sort of person.
