BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEW Starbucks comes to Bainbridge: Love it or hate it, Starbucks is coming to Bainbridge Island. The coffee giant — considered by some to be one of the worst examples of big business monopolizing a craft industry, and by others the quintessential Seattle success story — is expected to open the doors of the newly announced Island Village Shopping Center location by late August. The Bainbridge store will offer unique and exclusive coffees, unavailable in most other stores, in addition to its staple blends. Also unique to Bainbridge and other select stores is the availability of the Starbucks Clover Brewing System, a unique brewing device which prepares each individual cup of coffee within 1 degree Fahrenheit of the blend’s ideal temperature. “I’m super-excited about Bainbridge,” store manager Rusten Harris said. “I have always had a big passion for coffee, so they actually approached me about the store.” Harris has been a Starbucks employee for nearly 10 years and began his career as a part-time barista. He has been the manager of the Poulsbo store for some time and, after a recent company expedition to visit coffee farms in Costa Rica, Harris is excited to move on and manage a new store from the ground up and get island customers excited about exotic coffees. — BainbridgeReview.com

He was the one who had encouraged her to open the shop after seeing her success at freelance baking. “This was his dream,” she said, wiping a tear from her eye. “I was just so overwhelmed with joy. Our sales were off the charts.” On her first day, she made 540 cupcakes. By closing, there were fewer than a dozen left in the display case. — CentralKitsapReporter. com

She sought help, and wants others to talk openly about depression and suicide so they aren’t afraid to seek help, too. Teen suicide prevention is Myers’ platform as Miss Viking Fest. “I remember going home after school everyday and crying and not knowing what to do,” Myers said. “It was tough.
