New game, today only

Let’s call it “try to knock Howard Schultz a couple spots back down the Forbes Billionaire List.” How, you ask? Drink as much as you can during the big 10 am-noon free coffee blitz today. You can make it to every Starbucks in West Seattle during that window — north to south, it’s Alki to Admiral to Admiral Safeway to Jefferson Square Safeway to 35th/Fauntleroy to Morgan Junction to Westwood to Westwood QFC to Roxbury Safeway — that would be 108 ounces of coffee, all on Howie’s dime!

There’s also bound to be a new Starbucks that will open up between 10AM and Noon so keep refreshings the Starbucks locator webpage! :-)

…don’t forget your personal mug! No reason to waste all those paper cups…

Arf. No thanks. Shortly after moving here, I adopted a coffee (and beer) snob attitude pretty easily. Fresh ground/pulled Espresso Vivace Vita or Dolce shots in my kitchen beats 95% of the crap out there…

Don’t forget Westwood Barnes and Noble

We couldn’t confirm if they were participating; they weren’t listed on the SBUX website as a “store.” We wound up at Alki and did have to pay a price for the free coffee … an arm-twisting sales pitch for their coffee machine sale!
