Mon, 16:43: Birth Week 1976 Local Landmark # 7: George's Restaurant, Kirkland, WA
Opened: August 15, 1976. Longest family-owned and operated restaurant in Kirkland.
We also spent some time walking the public path alongside the lake. https://t.co/etQP4tbmak

Mon, 18:31: Birth Week 1976 Local Landmark #8 : Starbucks at 1912 Pike Place
First coffee shop opened 300 ft from here in 1971, but has been at current location at Pike Place as the oldest standing Starbucks since 1976.
The store still has a lot of “First Starbucks Store Established 1971” in it, annoyingly suggesting it’s been in this spot since 1971, but this exact location opened in—say it with me!—1976. I have spent years judging and making fun of tourists for taking photos of this store and waiting in a line to go in, and today I became one of them! I bet no one else has ever done it for the same reason though.
Also I’ve been inside a couple of times before but never noticed the coffee Pike Place Pig, that kind of cracked me up. https://t.co/GM8KpPSjeb
