A community for news and discussion of Seattle, Washington and the surrounding area
Seattle was a coffeehouse town before Nestle (and its evil ways) was even born.
Hell, the first coffee shop was WAY before 1957's opening of 'The Place Next Door'.
(Don't) hope they're ready to get stomped on. Oh, and Seattle's Best might have something to say about it.
Filings show Seattle Strong responded to Nestlé, saying the petition is “an ill-fated effort by a large multinational company to control the use of the name of the city ‘Seattle’ in coffee-related products in an attempt to bully a small, local coffee company from Seattle.”

Top to bottom, Nestle should be tried for crimes against humanity.
They might own WA politicians and judges but they'll never own Seattle... aaaand now they own Seattle.
Fuuuuuuck Nestle and the four-headed horse locust they rode in on.
