First, Fuel cruised19th Ave, then it swung down the hill to Montlake. Next stop? Wallingford.
The neighborhood coffee joint is celebrating its birthday by opening a new store. This puts Fuel firmly on the road to official status as a local indie chain. The scoop on the new Fuel is buried at the end of this feature on Fuel from KOMO-TV, of all sources. New place is located at 1705 N 45th St. Grand opening is slated for April 7.
Here’s directions for a Fuel roadtrip. Enjoy the drive.

I just noticed this last night when I stopped at the Montlake location! It’s completely covered with (beautifully designed) posters and flyers about the Wallingford location.
