In Seattle, http://elliescoworking.com/ -- I know it received lots of interest and support a few years back when it was first being tested. It looks like this may have transitioned away from childcare for the time being into http://www.worksprogressseattle.com/ Jessie is extremely friendly and I'm sure has quite a bit to say about her experience.

I worked from worksprogress for a few months when I first moved to Seattle, good space and location and Jessie and Marnee are great.

In talking with them about the childcare side of things, they ran into a lot of regulation that just proved too much at the time.

Childcare is highly regulated and childcare and workplaces even more so apparently. They said that many of the laws they were running into were meant to keep larger industrial organizations in check back in the day. Companies used to offer very sub-par "childcare" for line-workers and if a child was having a problem (sick, injury, etc) it wasn't in the best interest of the company to inform the parent (who would have to leave the production line).

I didn't think those laws would apply to a co-op type office where everyone is working for themselves.

When I left in December, there was no childcare running, just the co-op workspace (which I would highly recommend).

I hope that this materializes. I work from home in Tacoma and send my son to daycare but I would take us both to Seattle on the Sounder train for the day if I could work next to his daycare.
