Well crap - RIP Makerhaus

Seattle based Makerhaus is closing their doors. From their website:

THANK YOU!!! It’s been an AMAZING journey!
Dear Makerhaus members, students, educators, and creative community,

Over the last eighteen months you have helped cultivate an amazing HAUS of learning, making, and connection by attending events, classes, workshops, joining our membership programs, and supporting us through social media and word of mouth.  Our goal to empower creative minds and make a meaningful contribution to our community would not have been possible without your involvement and interest.  We sincerely thank you for your support.

While there has been great love for our mission, customer demand has fallen short of what is needed to continue to run the business. That said, it is with extreme regret that we are announcing Makerhaus will be closing its doors on September 16th.

Makerhaus has been home to some amazingly talented people.  Many of which have directly contributed their time to building the space and cultivating a uniquely creative culture.  Without their shared belief in our mission and passion for our goals none of this would have been possible.  We are also extremely grateful and fortunate to have been backed by a team of forward thinkers who believe in our mission and shared our vision of helping our society move ahead.

We still believe in the makers, teachers, entrepreneurs, and curious minds who have come to visit us over the past eighteen months.  Some came by for a day, some have stayed with us for over a year.  Many built new personal and business relationships resulting in Kickstarter campaigns, jobs, new found awareness for their skills & services, and the incubation of their own companies. We are glad to have been able to help others bridge the gap in their lives and realize their dreams.

Our immediate goal is to ensure our members and stakeholders are properly taken care of during this transition.  We will continue to operate under our regular business hours during our final days.  If you have any questions please contact us at info@makerhaus.com and we will respond as quickly as possible.

Thank you again for an amazing experience.  We which you all the very best!

Sincerely,

Mike & Ellie Kemery
Makerhaus

Sad to see - the Maker movement is one of the really bright creative lights in today's society. Fund a large space and tools of various kinds and charge people money for access. I would love to have access to a laser cutter and a CNC plasma table and would be more than willing to pay $100/month or so for this. Let us hope that the economy turns around soon - our current administration is hell on small businesses...
