Free Coffee at Peet’s

Friday, August 7th from 2-3 pm.
That’s right. Enjoy a free 8 ounce cup of Peet’s Coffee Freddo, Mocha Freddo or Caffe’ Freddo, between 2 and 3 pm.
I saw the sign outside the Peet’s in Salmon Creek, 13307 NE Hwy 99, and had to go inside and ask, “Really, free coffee. What’s the catch?”
Well, the catch is, only between 2-3 pm and only Coffee Freddo, “The rich taste of freshly brewed coffee, creamy milk and natural ingredients, perfectly blended with ice.”
I can handle that. Oh, and it’s valid at any Peet’s, not just Salmon Creek.

It’s a Pole Hole.
It’s a what?
A Pole Hole, a wire basket with chains, and they are part of the Disc Golf Course on the WSU Vancouver Campus. It is a Nine Hole Course right here in Salmon Creek, open to the public, and free! Disc Golf is a lot like regular golf, except you use “frisbees” instead of golf balls; and your target is a pole hole, not a hole in the ground.
