I’m pretty sure that the high speed internet service the hotels offer in Seattle are much better than some of the wireless internet access that is being offered in some of the local coffee shops. I’m not too thrilled about having to pay for Internet when I am staying at a hotel, but it is even more painful when I have to pay for Internet at a coffee house. Especially so when the coffee house has a slow connection. I’m a big advocate of being able to have a cup of coffee while reading the latest news from CNN. I also think that offering an atmosphere that is conducive to working, like having free Internet, is the best thing a coffee shop can do.

 I’ve only been to about five coffee shops so far, and I’m staying in Seattle for at least another week. I’ll have to update my future coffee sipping experiences after I’ve sampled a couple more locations. It seems like there is at least one shop on every corner here, and so far the last three I’ve visited have had some nice furniture to lounge on while you are having that morning goodness. I’ll write again when I find out more.
