Have you considered Starbucks or the like? Seriously. They are not quite, provide WiFi and refreshments and a great place to meet and network. I prefer working from home for the same reasons. But, like you, I need to interact and network. So, when I am not with clients and want to be around others, a coffee shop does the trick.

There are plenty of co-ops, as you know. Ask for a quest pass type arrangement. You are interviewing them just as they are interviewing you. You both want it to be a good fit.

I know the owner of a co-op in Oregon. If you would like, I'll make a call and ask for referrals to your area. Give me a call if you have any other questions.

All the best!
