*Sculpture of a pig made from coffee beans. The sculpture is located above the entrance to the first and now oldest coffee house of Starbucks Chain.
*Notes: The first Starbucks opened in Seattle, Washington, on March 31, 1971, by three partners who met while they were students at the University of San Francisco: English teacher Jerry Baldwin, history teacher Zev Siegl, and writer Gordon Bowker were inspired to sell high-quality coffee beans and equipment by coffee roasting entrepreneur Alfred Peet after he taught them his style of roasting beans. The company took the name of the chief mate in the book Moby-Dick: Starbuck, after considering "Cargo House" and "Pequod". Bowker recalls that Terry Heckler, with whom Bowker owned an advertising agency, thought words beginning with "st" were powerful. The founders brainstormed a list of words beginning with "st". Someone pulled out an old mining map of the Cascade Range and saw a mining town named "Starbo", which immediately put Bowker in mind of the character "Starbuck". Bowker said, "Moby-Dick didn't have anything to do with Starbucks directly; it was only coincidental that the sound seemed to make sense."

One of the amazing art glass stands of Chihuly Garden and Glass monument
*Notes: Glass has endured as an art medium for centuries. Its transparent and crystal-like qualities have inspired the careful creation of the stained glass windows of Medieval Europe as well as the dazzling glassware in your kitchen cupboard. Glass is both practical and beautiful, simple and complex, and Dale Chihuly made it his life’s work.
Seattle's Chihuly Garden and Glass is a monument to glass as art and features a large portion of Chihuly's work. The long-term exhibition, open since 2012, features a Glasshouse, an Exhibition Hall containing eight galleries and three drawing walls, and a lush garden that serves as the backdrop for glass sculptures made up of impossible shapes and unbelievably brilliant colors. If Seattle's famous overcast skies leave you feeling washed out, then Chihuly Garden and Glass will surely add a splash of color to your day.
*Dale Chihuly is an American glass sculptor and entrepreneur. His works are considered to possess outstanding artistic merit in the field of blown glass, "moving it into the realm of large-scale sculpture." The technical difficulties of working with glass forms are considerable, yet Chihuly uses it as the primary medium for installations and environmental artwork.
