Ask HN: Hacker houses in Seattle?

I'm also interested to know if any such place exists.

I currently live in a sweet shared house/manse two houses up from Lake Washington (where there is presently a room open), but it's way the hell up at 123rd St. -- it can be a pain to ride home late after an event.

What I've been thinking is that there are a ton of warehouse spaces down in SODO, and some groups have put things together like HackerBot Labs. I've run a couple of hacker/punk houses in the past here in SF, but it's hard to do because of real estate prices and the fast-dwindling number of independent landlords. Seattle would be more amenable, and the real estate prices are 1/2 what they are down here.

I'm looking for a permanent situation rather than a hotel alternative, but thanks.
