We take a step outside our normal focus on RV travel and camping for a special collaboration with Scott Cowan, host of the Explore Washington State Podcast. Armed with a field recorder and plenty of curiosity, Brooks and Scott spend the day walking through downtown Everett, Washington, visiting four outstanding independent coffee shops: Narrative Coffee, Nadine's Coffee, Loft Coffee Bar & Bakery, and Choux Choux Bakery.

Recorded entirely on location, this episode captures the sounds, conversations, and atmosphere of each stop while exploring the Pacific Northwest's thriving coffee culture. Along the way, Brooks and Scott share plenty of coffee talk and lighthearted banter, discussing AeroPress brewing, pour overs, French press coffee, espresso, favorite regional coffee roasters, best camp coffee setups, vinyl records, local restaurants, and why independent cafés help define a community.

While RV Out West is best known for helping you discover campgrounds, road trips, and destinations across the Pacific Northwest, this episode highlights another side of travel. Sometimes the best way to experience a place is on foot, taking time to visit local businesses and appreciate the stories that unfold over a great cup of coffee.

If you're planning a trip to Everett, searching for great coffee in Washington State, or simply enjoy conversations about travel, food, and coffee culture, this episode belongs on your playlist. It's an easygoing conversation filled with local recommendations, practical coffee tips, and plenty of laughs between two friends who share a passion for exploring the Pacific Northwest.

Grab your favorite mug, press play, and join us for a coffee crawl through downtown Everett that proves memorable travel experiences don't always begin at a campground; they can start with a walk around the block.
