On 1st or on 4th? There's only one SBUX on 1st between showbox and cherry st, on Columbia I think.

I was thinking more generally about downtown. I counted 10 between Belltown and Pioneer Square.

But to your point, there are 2 Starbucks' directly on 1st; one in Pike Place and one just up from the ferry terminal.

The one in Pike's Place is to the west of Post Alley; it's not really on 1st. There's only one on 1st between Showbox and Cherry, which is the one on Columbia just up from the ferry terminal.

I agree, though, that there are an inordinate number of SBUX-owned coffee shops downtown, especially once you factor in the SBCs.
