In terms of prevalence, how do they stack up against coffee houses? I
haven't been to Seattle for about twelve years, but I'm given to understand
that there's a coffee house every fifty feet (or just about that) nowadays.

There are probably a lot more coffee joints than teriyaki joints. As
you probably know, Starbucks got started in Seattle, and they have shops
all over the metro area. Sometimes you see two Starbucks on the same
city block, or practically across the street from each other. There are
also shops run by Tully's, Peet's, and other regional chains. Plus many
independently run shops, some with their own roasting operations. Plus
lots of walk-up and drive-through espresso stands and kiosks. You see
these everywhe in parking lots, inside stores and malls, gas
stations, hardware stores, etc. I work on the U of Washington campus,
and many of the buildings have espresso stands.

Seattle also has tea shops and bubble tea shops. This town is seriously
into caffeine.

I have a slogan for the Chamber of Commerce or Visitor's Bureau:

"Seattle, all wired, all the time"

Yeah, and it's not just Seattle either. It's the entire WA state, all
the way from the top of the Peninsula to Ocean Shores.
