Original Starbucks

Downtown

You'll probably see the line of tourists before the sign itself (which is brown, rather than the more commonly recognized green sign) when you head to the First Starbucks on the historic streets of Pike Place Market. The globally renowned coffee company opened up its first shop in 1971—although fun fact: the actual first Starbucks opened up a few blocks away and is no longer standing. This isn't the spot to go if you're looking for a quick caffeine fix, but it might be worth the wait if you're interested in exploring more about Starbucks' history.
