komo 4 | ‘Lets Throw The Coffee In The Water!’
SEATTLE – “No on I-77! No on I -77!”
A crowd of coffee roasters, espresso bar owners and ordinary caffeine lovers took to the streets Sunday to protest the proposed espresso tax.
“What do we want? Coffee! How do we want it? Tax free!” they shouted.
They made their point by staging a modern-day Boston Tea Party. Demonstrators marched from Zoka Coffee House to Green Lake, where they dumped burlap bags into the water.
Gee, I hope the increased caffeine content of the water doesn’t affect the carp or the persistent milfoil . . . . .
