#Coffee for Soggiest January in #Seattle

The Seattle Times headline said: "It's been one of the soggiest Januarys ever in Seattle--and more is on the way." Twenty-eight straight days of rain! How do we cope? One word: Coffee.

Drive-thru coffee stands like this one dot major streets in western Washington state.


Most of them have more personality that the one above, however... like Cowgirls Cup.


With its spout, Perky's is supposed to resemble a coffee pot.


Gravity Coffee, across the street from the fairgrounds in Puyallup, has a Pacific Northwest vibe.


This pink coffee hut is a bright spot on a dreary day.


Southern Charm Espresso draws in customers by offering a "Rusty Cowboy." Based on the condition of the pickup truck, it looks like they've reached their target consumer.


Castle Perk's regal structure surely appeals to a higher class coffee enthusiast.


With locations everywhere, there's always a Starbucks nearby.


These are just some of the Starbucks locations in King County, Washington.

  5. Those are very cute coffee shops that I surely will enjoy! On a 2015 visit to Seattle, I had an amazing morning at Mill Creek Cafe when I ordered a hot chocolate and the waiter even put lots of mnms on top of the whip! SO CUTE!

    Sending warm smiles to cold Seattle!

  6. 28 days of rain isn't so bad when we remember it could have been snow. Ouch! I never cared for coffee (to me it smells wonderful but . . .) Anyway, I did enjoy seeing all these attractive and clever photos. Thanks, Sandy.

  13. Washington seems to lead the way in coffee. I remember Oklahoma was a coffee desert for years. We ordered Peet's for years and now there lots of coffee places.

  19. I tell you..I loved this post! I’m a Pacific Northwest woman transplanted these days to Winter in sunnier climes. I don’t miss the rain, but dang I miss the espresso on every corner. It’s even hard to find a Starbucks around here. Granted, it’s not as much a matter of life and death here as it is for you in the winter , but a great coffee drink is such a pleasure in any weather!
