Help save West Bay Coffee and Smoothies

Westbay Coffee and Smoothies needs your help!
After watching so many wonderful local businesses have to shut their doors permanently during this pandemic, we counted ourselves beyond blessed and kept pushing through. The last two years have not been easy for anyone! We’ve been through covid exposures, weathered on going supply chain issues and enormous supply price hikes, while trying to keep everyone safe.
The most recent winter storm dealt us what could be a final blow to our sweet little coffee stand of 14 years.
The below freezing temps caused the pipes to burst in the main building that is shared with the coffee stand. This left us with very little water pressure, but we were still able to run. The landlord is unable to fix the pipes and as of January 8 the water to building was shut off leaving us without water to the stand, a working bathroom, an ice machine, or a washer/dryer for our towels.
The building owner has told us we can either close PERMANENTLY (lease expired end of 2021) or find our own way to stay in business by rerouting the water lines ourselves and solving the rest of the issues on our own. As you can imagine, keeping our business open and doing what we love, comes with a hefty price tag.
Yes we want to stay!!!
We have absolutely loved serving West Seattle over the last 14 years (yes 14!) Each and every one of you has become like family to us. We love being a part of your lives -celebrating your achievements with you, watching your kids grow up, watching our high school Redbull punch drinkers graduate, and come back to see us on their breaks from college, and being with you through your losses and hard times.
So now we need your help through this fundraiser to assist with the cost getting and keeping Westbay Coffee and Smoothies operating. We are asking for $8,000.00 to be able to keep making great drinks and great memories and every single dollar helps!
Thank you for helping save Westbay, from all of us
