My aunt suggested that I re-search the amount of Starbucks in the area of Seattle. Before I had done the search with a Bothell zip code and a 20 mile radius. It ended up being 185 stores. Aunty said to do it with the 98101 (downtown Seattle) zip code and a 50 mile radius to get all of the everywhere. I did the search and it came up with much more exciting results.

There are 341 Starbucks stores in Seattle.

Nice. I wonder if it counts the one on top of the Space Needle, because it isn’t an actual Store; it’s in a partnership with the mega-company. If it does not count, then there are actually 342 stores. Maybe I’ll look through the results some day and find out.

Remember, there are only 341 Starbucks stores. This excludes how many other coffee shops there are. Like Maxi Java, Dizzy Beans, etc. I noticed, just around the Space Needle, that there were 2 stores only devoted to coffee, but there were several other places that also had diferent types of coffee available. Just around the Space Needle. Inside the Space Needle, there were 3 different spots you could buy coffee also.

We were talking about how Starbucks doesn’t offer a rewards system. They don’t give you punch cards. Or other stuff like that. The only exception would be with the ones in Safeway–and you have to use your Safeway card.

I should start a quest to find out the total amount of coffee shops in Seattle. I think that it would be impossible to find out.
