Washington state is coffee crazy


When most people think of Washington they think of Seattle or they think of tall mountains, or ferns or slimy banana slugs. And they think of coffee. Washington is the birthplace of Starbucks. Even in eastern Washington, which is mostly wide open space (as you can see in this photo), people love their coffee. Along U.S. 395, this billboard advertises the next caffeine opportunity. From the looks of this picture, it's hard to imagine there's anything ahead but sagebrush.

  1. I miss WA, even the slugs, though not quite so much the slugs. I do miss coffee shops everywhere.

  2. Yes, we miss all those espresso stands as we go east. Here in South Dakota there are a few but not like in Washington, our home state. Our friends have sent us some Starbucks coffee beans so don't do without!
