In which US city was the first Starbucks located?

The story begins in 1971 along the cobblestone streets of Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market. It was here where Starbucks opened its first store, offering fresh-roasted coffee beans, tea, and spices from around the world for our customers to take home. The name was inspired by the classic tale, “Moby-Dick,” evoking the seafaring tradition of the early coffee traders.
