Welcome to Vibe Unplugged — our monthly roundup of what’s new, now, and next at Vibe Coworks. From member stories to local happenings, it’s your inside look at Kitsap’s coworking community in motion.
JANUARY 5, 2026—January always feels a little quieter in the best way. The space fills back up, routines settle in, and there’s a collective exhale as we ease into a new year together. After one too many hot chocolates filled to the brim with marshmallows, I’m happy to be back, swapping them for my chai and getting back into a routine for 2026.
We’re keeping things simple this month—focused workdays, familiar faces, and a handful of moments to reconnect. Whether you’re diving into big goals or just finding your rhythm again, we’re glad you’re here.
But first some merry news from Vibists….
- Vibe Coworks was named Best Coworking Space and Best Conference Space in all of Kitsap County
- Beth Moore, who supports us every year at the White Tie Picnic, won Best Lender
- Megan Martin took home Best Shoe Store with Indigo Plum.

Congrats to all of the 2025 Best of Kitsap winners—we’re lucky to be surrounded by such incredible people and businesses.
