RailSpur Studios

RailSpur Studios is a seven-level workplace located in a refurbished historic warehouse in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of downtown Seattle. It has been designed for individuals and organizations who value creativity, clarity, and care in how they work. The space includes two full floors of co-working space, two full floors of office space, a mixed-use floor containing artist studios plus a shared open space & common area with pop-up activations, and two floors of the newest penthouse event space in Seattle. The building is set within a restored historic structure in the heart of the RailSpur project; the Studios are part of a larger vision: a connected, mixed-use ecosystem that blends workspace, hospitality, public gathering, culinary experiences, creative culture, and independent retail. RailSpur Studios is its working core, a place for people who think across disciplines and timeframes, and who understand that how something is made matters just as much as what it becomes. This is not a single-use space. It’s a layered, flexible, vertically integrated environment designed to support the full arc of working life, from early ideas to structured development to long-term stewardship.
