HOTWIRE COFFEE ANNIVERSARY: Hotwire Coffee in The Junction is celebrating its 24th anniversary:
Hotwire is West Seattle’s oldest independent coffee shop (Uptown Espresso was a little earlier but they have multiple locations). It was originally built in 1910 as a carriage house, aka parking spot, for the horse-drawn carriage for Seattle Lighting and Gas. Owner Jeff Silva was a regular when the coffee shop opened in 2002 and he happily took over this neighborhood shop in 2015.
They’re offering cold-brew specials ($2.40 any size) all day to celebrate. (4410 California SW)
