Alice talks about her transition from New York to Tacoma, the guys chat about Art on the Ave, and Justin’s first tour of the building.

31:18 –They discuss the 24/7 access offered at SURGE, touch again on the different packages, and the businesses that they have helped grow with the shared work environment.

The show comes to an end with conversation on how people can get tours, SURGE’s flexibility for customers, like month to month costs, and where people can find them online. Thanks Alice and Guion for an inside look at what SURGE has to offer!
