ActivSpace | Office Space for Rent | 819 North 49th St.

ActivSpace at The Zoo is a multi-tenant creative workspace located at 819 North 49th Street in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood, adjacent to Woodland Park Zoo. Opened in 2001, the building serves small businesses, artists, makers, and entrepreneurs with private, customizable spaces across four product tiers. The property is well known for its “Potters Alley,” a concentration of ceramics studios within the building.

Spaces specialize in the 100–400 SF range and are offered across four tiers. “The Spark” ($240–$400/month) provides entry-level private studios with a door and window. “The Maker” ($380–$555/month) offers mid-size spaces with tall ceilings suited for multi-discipline creative work. “The Launch” ($525–$700/month) delivers larger collaborative or multi-step project spaces. “The Garage” ($480–$1,210/month) features roll-up and/or man doors with concrete floors, designed for vehicle-accessible work including fabrication, distribution, staging, and storage of large equipment.

All units include basic utilities (electricity, water, garbage), individual key access, large windows, and tall ceilings. Units are wired for landline and internet. Common areas include a stretch elevator, community boards, permitted parking, and bike racks. Leases are month-to-month. Storage spaces, mailboxes, and add-on user options are available.

The building is located just off Highway 99, approximately 3 miles north of downtown Seattle — roughly a 10-minute drive. King County Metro bus routes 5, 45, and the E Line are all within one block. The surrounding area serves the Green Lake, Phinney Ridge, Wallingford, and Greenwood neighborhoods, with restaurants, coffee shops, and the Woodland Park Zoo rose garden within walking distance.
