Coworking Company Kiln to Open Full Floor in Downtown Bellevue

Coworking company Kiln has signed a lease for a full floor at Symetra Center in downtown Bellevue, marking its second Seattle-area location, coming just months after its first, according to Broderick Group’s Q2 2026 Eastside Office Market Report.

The new space totals 26,143 square feet at located at 777 108th Ave. NE. Kiln’s Bellevue debut follows its first Puget Sound-area office, a 32,276-square-foot space in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood that has already signed up 20 memberships. The company says it is continuing to look for additional space in the local market.

Kiln is headquartered in Holladay, Utah, and was founded in 2017. It offers monthly memberships aimed at creatives, startups, and enterprise teams, and currently operates locations across 10 western U.S. states. The company said last year it planned to open several new locations nationwide in 2026, and the Bellevue lease is part of that expansion.

The move adds to a quarter of steady full-floor leasing activity in downtown Bellevue. Symetra Center itself also picked up Banner Bank as a tenant this quarter, a 19,085-square-foot lease that closed out the last remaining upper-floor space available in the building.

Broderick Group’s report counts nearly 20 full-floor-or-larger transactions that have closed or are advancing downtown so far this year, part of a broader trend of renewed occupancy in the Central Business District’s higher-quality office stock.

Kiln’s expansion also lines up with wider growth in the region’s coworking sector. Seattle-area coworking space grew 4% year over year, reaching roughly 3 million square feet, according to the report.

Kiln joins a small but established group of coworking operators already in downtown Bellevue. WeWork operates a location at 800 Bellevue Way NE in Bellevue Place, within walking distance of Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square, and Industrious runs a location at 500 108th Avenue NE, around the corner from Kiln’s incoming space at Symetra Center.

The addition gives downtown Bellevue at least three coworking brands operating within a few blocks of each other in the Central Business District.
