Urban Living regularly receives a high amount of traffic on an old 2008 post about live/work lofts for sale in Seattle. Recent comments suggest that some of that traffic is artists looking for affordable live/work lofts where they can practice their craft. And boy is that old post not helping :).
Urban Living is mostly focused on new construction condos and apartments and we don't track live/work spaces for artists too closely; however, I took a few minutes to track down some resources. Here's a short list of what I found:
Then there's the obvious mainstream routes: Seattle.gov | Looking for Housing, Craigslist.org, SeattleRentals.com, etc. Plus, I thought the advice from the Arts Resource Network was some of the best:
The most promising ways to locate artist live/work space in your home community is to look in art supply stores and cafes, space available postings in weekly newspapers, arts councils, and artist-run organizations.
Anyone have any other suggestions or particularly cunning resources for artists to find live/work space?
