Seattle Coffee Co., manufacturer of Seattle’s Best Coffee (SBC), is a processor in transition, and customers and employees both will benefit from those changes.
The 31-year-old firm is preparing to move from Vashon Island, its home since 1983, to the Seattle suburb of Fife, Wash. For long-time employees, the romance of the morning ferry ride to work gave way to commuter tedium long ago, and relocation to a new 228,000 sq. ft. plant and distribution center will be a welcome change.
