Welcome to SheWorks

A space built for the way women really work and live.

SheWorks is a coworking, childcare, and community space in Downtown Tacoma created to give women the support, flexibility, and connection they need to pursue their professional and personal ambitions—all under one roof.

Born from our founders’ own experiences navigating career, entrepreneurship, motherhood, and the need for genuine community, SheWorks is here to help change the narrative for women in the workplace.

Coworking memberships, childcare enrollment, and tours are now available.

A Space Designed With You in Mind

We believe women shouldn’t have to choose between showing up for their work and showing up for the people and priorities that matter most.

That’s why we created SheWorks: a place where flexible workspaces, quality childcare, professional resources, and a supportive community come together under one roof.

Whether you’re building a business, growing your career, raising a family, or figuring out what comes next, you’ll find space here to focus, connect, and grow—alongside women who understand.

Meet the Women Behind SheWorks

SheWorks was born from personal experience and a belief that women deserve spaces designed around the realities of their lives.

Ashley Whitney

Founder & CEO

Ashley’s vision for SheWorks grew from her own experience navigating career and motherhood, along with years spent advocating for women and mothers in the tech industry. She created SheWorks to give women more of the support, flexibility, and community they need to pursue their professional and personal ambitions.

Paddy Kay Lei

Co-Founder & Member Experience Director

Paddy’s passion for SheWorks comes from her own experiences with entrepreneurship and finding the power of community after moving to the Pacific Northwest. She’s dedicated to creating a space where women feel genuinely welcomed, connected, and supported as they work, learn, and grow.

Together, Ashley and Paddy are building the kind of space they believe more women deserve—and showing what’s possible when women have the community and resources to thrive.
