History
Opened on April 1, 2000, as the Bit Star,[1] it was reported by InfoWorld to be the first commercial business to offer free wireless internet Wi-Fi services. Although few had the equipment necessary to take advantage of this, free wireless internet became a major component of the small coffee shop business model across America.
The Drinkmore was owned and run by software executive and Seattle mayoral candidate Scott Kennedy. It was the headquarters of Seattle Wireless and was the Howard Dean meetup spot during his 2004 presidential campaign.
The cafe's original location, a 1905 "Dye Works" warehouse at the corner of Bellevue Avenue East and Thomas Street, was demolished in 2014 by the property owner to make way for new condominiums.[1]
