I received an email from Starbucks about the grand opening of their new flagship store, which will be the home of their premium Starbucks Reserve label.

Since I enjoy coffee, I was interested enough to click on the link to see a video of the idea behind the new Roastery, and to take a virtual tour of the building.

Something about the architecture said "former auto dealership" to me, so I Googled the address along with the word "dealership," and BINGO! Up popped this website from the City of Seattle. The Starbucks Roastery is occupying the former Packard Seattle dealership!

Here is the site survey from the City:http://web6.seattle.gov/DPD/HistoricalSite/QueryResult.aspx?ID=489

And here is the site for the Roastery:http://roastery.starbucks.com/#home
