Today is another big job fair in Seattle. With adjusted unemployment rate at over 17%, you likely discovered huge crowds, few jobs, and are now rethinking (again) your resume and possibly your career path.

As you discover your new direction, you might be looking for an "office away from home"; a place to add that work-like structure back into your life.

Seattle has lots of fabulous free wifi spots. Whether you take advantage of Starbucks free two hours (with a registered card), enjoy the ambiance of a local café, or even the quiet of the local library, you don’t have to have an office to enjoy people and computers in the same environment.

When the weather outside is frightful, and the job hunt is turning into a career transition, a coffeehouse retreat that is low priced and offers free wifi isn’t just a java center. It’s become a community center.

The rules for a coffee house office are usually simple.

1. Keep your stuff in your own space – and take up a reasonable amount of space.
2. Purchase something. Don’t smooch off the proprietor. They have to pay rent too. At Cloud City Coffee in the Maple Leaf District on Roosevelt, you can buy any drink you like from the counter, and refills of drip are $1 from the pump pots on the bar.
3. Life is messy – clean it up.

Where do you find these amazing, low priced places to hang out? Wififreespot.com will hook you up with local free wifi spots in your city. Their site is alphabetical by city, then by business.

When you are done, come back here and let us know if you found any particularly awesome places to work and hang out. Is there a coffee house that has Free Scone Monday? Free awesome entertainment on Friday nights? Leave a comment and share.
