What office space costs in Seattle

Flexible, move-in-ready office space in Seattle runs a median around $399 per person per month (about $319–$550 across the middle of the market). Traditional direct leases price per square foot and add build-out, furniture and utilities on top — which is why most small and growing teams choose flexible space priced all-in per desk. See the full breakdown in our Seattle pricing guide.

Flexible vs. traditional

Flexible / serviced offices — furnished, staffed, monthly terms, one per-desk price. Best for teams under ~30 people or anyone whose headcount is still moving. Traditional direct leases — your own space, 3–7 year terms, lower per-square-foot cost but real build-out and setup. Best for larger, stable teams. Most Seattle startups and growing companies start flexible and graduate to a lease later; here’s how fast-growing Seattle teams choose.
