Getting good coffee in Seattle

The highest-rated independent shops in Seattle tend to roast their own beans or buy from a named local roaster — ask the barista what is on the grinder.
Morning rush is real everywhere. If you are working from a cafe in Seattle, the sweet spot is usually 9:30 to 11:30, after the commuter wave.
Ratings below 4.0 with hundreds of reviews usually mean inconsistent drinks, not bad ones — worth a try if it is on your route.
