SEATTLE — After three years working to get her business off the ground, Amy Nelson didn't get a chance to say goodbye to the co-working spaces that first made her dream of helping working women a reality.
Nelson started The Riveter in 2017, hoping to create a co-working space for women that countered the male-dominated culture of kegs and table tennis she saw in the business world. Then came 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic redefined offices and The Riveter had to close its locations.
Nelson, who rose to national prominence along with The Riveter, didn't help with the closures because she and her family were ensnared in a still-ongoing legal case with Amazon, her husband's former employer.
