History[edit | edit source]
Seattle's Best Coffee began as a combination ice cream and coffee shop called the Wet Whisker on Whidbey Island, Washington, in 1969. The founders, Jim Stewart and Dave Stewart, purchased green coffee beans from local roasters to be roasted and sold at the Wet Whisker. In 1970, the Stewarts moved their business to Seattle, Washington, and renamed it Stewart Brothers Wet Whisker.
In 1982, Stewart Brothers Wet Whisker entered a competition hosted by the Specialty Coffee Association of America and won the title of "Best Coffee in Seattle." Following this victory, the company changed its name to Seattle's Best Coffee.

Acquisition by Starbucks[edit | edit source]
