Peter, Welcome! It's an exciting place to be in where you are at. I actually am in a similar spot. I have had a software salary for all of my adult life and I just gave it up to focus on Office Nomads full time. We are a coworking space on Capitol Hill and we are hoping there will be many more spaces in the coming years (see http://coworkingseattle.org). Come on in and look around. The official home listing the coworking options around town is on the wiki (http://coworking.pbworks.com/CoworkingSeattle).
Please responding off list since we are straying from the topic a bit.
