caffeine overload

So, exactly how many coffee shops does Seattle have? A lot. I don't have an exact number of total coffee shops including independent and mom and pop shops, but I do know there are at least 600 Starbucks Coffee shops in Seattle. (And that's not counting Seattle's Best also owned by Starbucks.) Being a former SBUX employee, I just had to get my ass down to the original store down at Pike's Place Market. And being the complete sap that I am was somewhat moved by the whole experience.
