Back when

Last February I visited my friend in Seattle. We played tourist in downtown Seattle and spent most of our time at Pike's Place Market. I have been there several times before but this was my first time going into the original Starbucks. I was so excited and pleased that the theme had not changed and the atmosphere was unique. The line was long but the wait was worth the experience.

First opened on March 30, 1971 the name Starbucks is taken from Moby Dick after Pequod was rejected by one of the co-founders, the company was named after the chief-mate on the Pequod, Starbuck.
