i just don't understand vagina at all. what are you supposed to do with that thing?
2
vagina first!
3
Damn!
4
As a taxpayer, this is offensive. I can get better porn for free.
5
@1 Have the best time ever! Vaginas are wonderful and everyone should enjoy them!

(Of course, I still think these coffee stands are in bad taste. And still a waste of resources to go after something so benign.)
6
I would like that lady arrested for those filthy, disgusting UGGS. Her vagina, however, is not offensive to me in the least.
7
Would you like a canned ham taco with your coffee, sir?
8
woah Everett Sluts. Way to keep your dwindling workforce happy and wired.
keep up the fight and the froth.

9
The vagina with the black crotchless panties is gonna haunt me in the bad way.
10
How much is that beardless clam in the window?
11
that last picture - am I the only one that saw the gonorrhea pus in the puss? And seriously, her downstairs grooming leaves a lot to be desired.

Do the male versions of these come with assless panties?
12
@11: I was pretty sure it was just some leftover whipped cream (although I got a bad reaction when I suggested it might be "lady excretions")
13
I think they're a little obsessed over this in the 'burbs, but to be honest, they SHOULD be prosecuted (and by they, I really mean the owners of these slut huts)...I'm a big, ole flaming liberal but I don't think these ho'bags need to be going spread eagle on a public street...the majority of the population has a conniption when guys get busted in public parks for cruisin' in the shrubs, well, at leat they're in the shrubs and not whipping their dicks out at an intersection in Everett.

But, I'm an honest hypocrite...if a coffee hut opened up with hunks in jock straps waggin' wienie for tips, I'd buy a car just so I could visit Snohomish County on a daily basis...and, I HATE Snohomish County.
14
How is that different than Hooters?
15
That was significantly skankier than I was expecting. The first photo is much more charming and has a sort of semi-naughty titillating car wash vibe. But then it's like "Oh SHIT I'm in the parking lot behind Rick's!" Also, in the last couple, the service provider is holding a pretty solid stack of 20s. Was that the deal? Drive-by stripping for big bucks? That's less defensible than rated R skin-flashing to drive up coffee sales, which was my initial understanding.
16
"we've blacked out parts of the women's faces to obscure their identities."

thats sweet.
17

Has Dan Savage finished throwing up yet?

18
I love these women. I do. Not because I find them arousing.
I don't. I'm gay. I love them because they have the chutzpah to live life. They know men find them hot and they use that to make a living and to me nothing could be more natural. The idea we are stupid enough to throw away tax dollars preventing that based on what is clearly a phony, hypocrital morality, well, makes me mad as hell. Tax fucking churches and their pervert priests!
19
that can't be sanitary...
20
That girl in the last photo sure has a big ol' wart on her inner thigh.
21
@18..i'm with vince..i'm not titillated in the least.but i get the 'oh my' giggles at the idea that i'm gonna ask for a triple mocha without whipped cream and then i'm gonna get served up some of this...
... now my husband is all tex avery eyeballed popped at these pix..but then it's well known that he has a strong nostalgia for lady nether regions. if they offer chai we are SO there !
22
@19 you've obviously never worked in any sort of food service industry have you?

hate to break it to you, but shit ain't as clean as you might predict.

The positive outcome is that I can pretty much eat anything now.....dropped in the dirt....find a hair.....oh well, just eat it.
23
I really hate UGGS. What do you think that key fits?
24
I wouldn't be mad if they have one with male servers.
25
Well, it's a good thing the law is going to prosecute them so that the world will be free from pornography.
26
So are they being charged with prostitution because they were taking big tips to go down on each other? Or were they actually fucking the customers? Because, eww. A couple of them were hot but those close-ups of the oozing stubbly pussies put me off my dinner. Surely that big wad of twenties would pay for a better wax job and some antibiotics.

27
Class 0, Libertarianism 1.
28
Well, on the plus side, it looks like you won't find any pubes in your latte... Seriously, why do women think they need to look pre-pubescent?
29
Aren't Washington state food service workers required to wear rubber/plastic gloves?
30
@1: You must see that as an "axe wound" (the way my gay pal once put it while I was sipping wine that shortly ended up spattered across the picnic table) — as opposed to the pork sword which makes perfect sense to you.
31
O!
32
M!
33
G!
34
I'm all for bikini baristas (though I wonder why there isn't a male version) but i don't need any vag with my coffee. Please cover your vagina while serving scaldingly hot beverages.
35
UGGs, clogs, and flip flops???? WTF is wrong with you Everett skanks?
36
13: I'm a big, ole flaming liberal but I don't think these ho'bags need to be going spread eagle on a public street...the majority of the population has a conniption when guys get busted in public parks for cruisin' in the shrubs, well, at leat they're in the shrubs and not whipping their dicks out at an intersection in Everett.

There's a difference between being in a public place, like a park, and inside a private place, like an espresso hut. Granted, even in that hut, they're more "in public" than they would be inside a strip club but all that should be required is a sign, letting prospective customers know what to expect.

It just amazes me how much money we spend on law enforcement to fight something so fundamental: men want to have sex with women and look at attractive naked women, and are willing to pay money to do it.
37
I am going to go against the grain and argue that, given the complete "I-don't-give-a-shit" attitude of these grab and go coffee stands, that the crackdown is not the waste of resources people are claiming. First of all, there are the public health risks (herpes laced whipped cream anyone?). Second, don't the people who live near the bikini coffee stands (or anyone who drives past one) have a right to NOT have to see a half naked woman straddling a window sill? Dan, if one of these opened up across the street from the Stranger, wouldn't you be frustrated by the unsolicited displays of canned ham multiple times a day?

Just have the places follow the rules of Hooters and we can all be happy.

"don't the people who live near the bikini coffee stands (or anyone who drives past one) have a right to NOT have to see a half naked woman straddling...." Nope. You are in PUBLIC. You have no rigt to dictate what you prefer to witness in PUBLIC. Just close your eyes if your such a big wimp.
40
@18 - Right there with you, Vince. I have nothing but respect for female sex workers.

And to all you sexist douche bags who can't resist knocking a woman who isn't afraid to bring it - FUCK OFF AND DIE. (That doesn't include the gay "canned ham" camp - y'all can dis pussy all you want.)
41
26/K3: So are they being charged with prostitution because they were taking big tips to go down on each other? Or were they actually fucking the customers?

This September article in The Seattle Times says...

Since July, a group of undercover Everett police officers has frequented the Grab-N-Go stand near Everett Mall after complaints that baristas were exposing themselves for cash or working completely nude, according to an Everett police report. The undercover officers who paid extra say the female baristas stripped naked, fondling each other and exposing themselves, according to a police report. A $20 "whip cream show" featured a barista licking whipped cream off a co-worker's groin and breast, police allege.

Baristas also charged to play "basketball," in which customers threw wadded cash, and baristas caught it in underwear or bikini bottoms, police said.

The Everett City Prosecutor's office charged the women with prostitution because money was exchanged for "sex acts," said an Everett police spokesman.
42
Doesn't a prostitution charge require them to be having sex with the customers?

If all they're doing is showing their vagina's to customers who remain in their vehicle, how is that prostitution?

As for the establishment being sanitary -- I don't see any of them actually making, poring or distributing the coffee naked. Plus, who cares -- poring coffee isn't the same as slaughtering a pig or making an omelet. Being naked is probably more sanitary than wearing an old grungy shirt to work anyways.

As someone who has lived in Oregon, where nudity is a free speech right, this state is stupid. No alcohol can be consumed in any area where nudity is occurring. And since this state treats the female nipple as a sex organ, even my burlesque friends have to wear pasties while they dance!

Good Fucking God. Fucking grow up people.

I am always surprised how much this state is so much more sexually repressed and more conservative than Oregon, BC and much of California.

45
oops

stupid internet tubes!
46
That vagina in the last picture is scary. It looks like something is going to come crawling out of it. Are a lot of vaginas closed like that? I'm mostly just familiar with my own, and it really does not look like that one (thankfully!!).
47
@41

I wonder what a "sex act" is?

Is a woman groping another woman's breast a "sex act"?

How about sucking whipped cream off of another woman's nipple? How is that a "sex act"?

And what is considered a "groin" I wonder? Does this mean that one woman's tongue went inside another woman's vagina? Or does it mean onto the labia and/ or clit? Or does it just mean the mons pubis?

I hope these girls have good lawyers.

Some of the charges, if not all of them, should be dropped.

What a stupid state!
48
At least we can pump our own gas.
49
@38/ 39:

I agree with you 39.

Once you leave the comfort of your own home, you no longer have the right not to be offended.

We Americans worry way too much about everyone's feelings or sensibilities getting hurt. Or, rather, the government uses that as an excuse to curb people's freedoms and to keep us all in line.

Me, I'm offended by the street preachers and their rabid homophobia and dislike of anyone not like themselves. Actually, I'm offended by a lot of religions and their dogmatic teachings. But you don't see me trying to shut down Assembly of God churches or force Mormons off the street.

Oh and the children! Please spare me the line about children. It's the responsibility of parents to protect their children from seeing things they aren't ready for, not the government. Plus if a child sees a naked woman, it's not going to hurt the kid at all. The only damage might be from an over reacting parent.

50
At the very least, it seems like a pretty major violation of zoning codes. While I agree it's probably not prostitution, it certainly is a strip club. And while you can argue that strip clubs are getting the short end of the zoning stick, it seems kind of dumb to allow a loophole where you simply call it an espresso stand, and it's all good.
51
Really? Nobody has anything to say about those nails? Ewww.
52
@37/38:

If one of these opened up across the street from The Stranger offices, 11th Ave between Pike & Pine would be a virtual parking lot during their hours of operation.

And I'll bet some of their best customers would be the donut dunkers from around the corner on their way on and off-shift.
53
Make that a "veritable" parking lot...
54
I wonder how many times these undercover police officers decided to order coffee and a little extra from this coffee stand after working their undercover hours? And how many photos were actually taken.

I agree with passionate_jus, Elin, and Vince.
55
Meh. Whatever. Not my cup of tea (hah!).

But there is a simple solution. If you don't want to see skanky vag when you buy your coffee, then patronize one of the other 8,000,000,000 coffee stands in Snohomish County.

This coffee stand wouldn't exist if there was no demand for it.

Finally, if they are gonna bust these women, why aren't they arresting every guy who drives up there for soliciting prostitution? This is completely sexist.
56
Big fucking deal. I'm pretty sure there are more dangerous people for cops to go after than stripping baristas.

I do have to wonder though, why aren't the girls working in a strip club, I would think they'd make more money that way.
57
Shit man! I understand and sympathize with my homo friends, but I gotta say it's this sort of hotness which makes me a loyal stranger fan. Seriously horny Stranger readers ought to set up a defense fund to help these hotties.
58
the only thing i hate more than that picture are the vice squads that collaborated to take down this menace to society.
59
If all they're doing is what's shown in these pictures, that doesn't warrant criminal charges. Unless the fashion police are active in Everett.

It's ironic that for a few months you could get closer to dancing naked ladies at a coffee stand than at a strip club.
60
Technically not vaginas.
61
Those aren't coffee vaginas! Those are coffee vulvas! They'd need to spread a little more for us to see the actual vaginas . . . and I'm glad they're not.
62
@46, the relative sizes of the labia majora and minora (that's inner and outer lips) as well as the clitoris vary widely.

Also as a general comment… Fnarf is right! No vagina is visible in any of these pictures!
63

Why is it that people hem and haw about a few titties in a coffee kiosk but then they bring their families to the Fremont Solstice Parade where hundreds of reedy white guys storm through on bicycles with their ying-yangs hanging out?

64
there's more to life than a vulva. that's why you drive one.
65
i'll take a tall house coffee and a side of ham wallet
66
I wonder how many of those photos went into the evidence file and how many copies went onto any of those officers' hard drives for, um, safe keeping. Some of those closeups are really close up - like maybe the cops were enjoying their jobs just a little bit too much and taking the assignment just a little bit too seriously. I wonder how many are thinking it's a darn shame they made the bust so no more clicky clicky.
67
@63: I somehow get the feeling that hemming-and-hawing pursed-lipped Everett church ladies are not exactly the big target demographic at the Solstice Parade. Did you have a point?
68
That last pussy has an inflatable raft in it. Just kind of peeking out. So weird. And yeah...a wart thigh...
69
It's frustrating that no one has commented thus far on how degrading this "slut hut" is to the women who work here, and to women in general for that matter. The reason prostitution is illegal (or rather, should be) is because selling your body might be the most profitable option if you have low income, but obviously it's a regrettable option for all who enter. It's not likely that these women have a high level of self esteem, and will only at most gain a false sense of confidence in their body image from this behavior.
For all of you Oregonians who have posted above claiming your state's superiority in allowing "nudity as free speech," please learn the difference between nudity and prostitution (when a person engages in sexual acts in exchange for a fee). See RCW 9A.88.030 and the definitions.
Hopefully these women will come out of this unscathed and be able to move on.
70
Hm. Mis-matched cheap bra and crotchless panties with dirty fake Uggs. Just blow that up and throw it on the "Welcome to Everett" sign. It's the best thing I've seen all week.

@51: Those nails are so many kinds of nightmares.
71
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/5…

Pussy no longer holds the near mythical status it once did.
72
They should arrest who ever gave that women a a stack of 20's to squat down for rampant stupidity. Really? Multiple 20's? I wouldn't even pay that for actual sex.

The whole place seems unsanitary, but it is obviously so, and unlike the hidden health dangers that I want government going after, e.g. I rarely go into the kitchen at a restaurant, if I am stupid enough to by food from a naked person that's my problem.
73
Good idea to wear the warm boots. Gotta keep from gettin' cold! Winter apparel is obviously the theme for their costumes.
74
Here is a guess for those complaining that this place was "unsanitary." I don't think people were going there for the coffee.
75
@56: Day shift. To make good money in a strip club, you have to work nights/weekends, and give up keeping normal hours or hanging out with your non-stripper friends. These girls make great money for a job they can actually put on their resumes. Well, could have put on their resumes, before the whole being-charged-with-prostitution thing.
76
For the first time in my life Elanchos has made me laugh...
Class 0, Libertarianism 1."

I like pussy, I like coffee, there is a time and place for both of these things. I don't want the clap juice dripping in my coffee when I have to go to work in the morning. I don't care what you do for your night job, it's 5 am in the fucking morning and I have to go to work. Please do not give me strip club germs, ok thanks.
77
Now is the time to point out WA state's stupid strip club laws.
78
@69

So you think this is degrading to women? Good for you! Don't go there!

What gives you the right to decide what is degrading to other women?

I have plenty of friends that are strippers/ escorts/ burlesque dancers. They love their jobs and they don't feel degraded in the least.

I also have had friends who did that and felt degraded. Guess what? They quit after a few months.

Again if you don't like it, don't work there. Don't go there.

Let the people who do want to work there, work there.

It's none of your business!

79
@76 Then don't go there, pure and simple.

Plus, it's not like they are rubbing their vagina's on the coffee cups. You can't get the clap from buying a coffee from a naked girl.

Learn basic sex ed. Dumbass.
80
@79

I don't go there. However I worked as a barista at many fine establishments in the pacific NW. They are hot cute young girls, I should have let my wang swang too, and then touch the steam wand, then touch my cock, to get it out of the way. Oops there is a spill let me get another spoon. Do you get where I'm going yet? That is just two minutes of an eight hour shift.
81
Looks like there's some dryer lint stuck in the last vagina
82
OMG, people, you can't SEE their vaginas! Is female anatomy really so complicated that we can't get this one straight? Those are vulvas. Pussies. Split-open canned hams, even. But not vaginas.

Also, @18 FTW.
83
@79, if these young women aren't rubbing their vulva on the coffee cups, what's the point? Especially the brunette on the left in the first photo, she can grind on my grinds anytime. Growwwwl!
84
That is one ugly vagina at the end there......
85
@72 Uh, it were the cop that gave her that there stack of 20s to squat in the window like that.
86

"please learn the difference between nudity and prostitution"

Nudity in the USA is for fat ugly feminists with body issues and MFAs…
87
Memo to all the "this is degrading to women!" crowd:

This isn't 1973 anymore. The women are there of their own volition, and so are the men. Your message is about as relevant as one of those douche-with-Lysol ads from the 1930's. So it might be time for you to be commencing with the shutting up - or at least come into the '90's.
88
ok ok ok...i don't really give a shit either about these espresso huts, but one argument against them that might hold a little water is what about young kids, or minors? Any kid could go hang out and take a peek, right? Or do they make sure to cover up when minors are around? Do they card everyone who comes to the Hut?

I probably wouldn't care if my kids saw naked ladies, but some parents might, and I'm not sure it is fair to make these naked ladies so visible to other peeps kids.
89
Eeeeew!!! I mean, I'm all for whatever in the bedroom, but around my coffee? I spend enough time fishing crinkly little hairs outta my mouth as it is - I don't wanna find 'em in my coffee.
90
Not to jump on you onion, but I get so very tired of the "what about the children" argument. The children probably aren't even noticing.

When I was growing up (I know - here we go again....) I lived in a town that had a lot of adult bookstores and theaters due to the proximity of Nebraska, which was almost as uptight at Washington state about this stuff.

We walked by those places every day on our way to school, and it was no big deal. You couldn't really see anything - just big tacky signs, and Russ Meyer-esque movie posters, with big black bars across the boobies. They inspired giggles and naked lady jokes, but that was about it. If anything, it was part of the streetscape, and no more interesting than the appliance store or the tombstone showroom.

Similarly, you could go in a bar with your parents - or on your own to sell band candy to drunks, or to ask the owner to sponsor your softball team, and it was no big deal. Bars were no mystery to kids, like we try to make them here.

You want to protect your children, of course - but a little bit of mild vice like this is probably not a bad thing. I'm not saying you should load the children in the minivan and go for a round of hot chocolate at a place like this, but if a kid in a passing car sees a scantily clad lady thirty feet away, what's the harm?
91
I tell you what you should get offended about: that last pussy is the ugliest fucking thing to climb out of a marsh swamp since the Predator's mouth. Seriously, it's vile.

There's razor burn over a snatch that would be hairier than a brown bear's ass if let to run wild and a wart the size of an eyeball (maybe an eyeball?). It looks like there's puss oozing out of what could be an untreated knife wound.

Honey, put that ugly fucking thing away. You are not Tera Patrick, you're the swamp thing.
92
"I get so very tired of the "what about the children" argument."

I'll tell you the real argument: this stuff destroys property values because the the human trash it attracts and who work there. It's why you don't have them on Queen Anne but you do in Tukwilla. I wouldn't want this shit in my neighborhood; put them where they belong, near the ghettos and trailer park trash that work and frequent them there. If a upper middle class professional feels the urge to stare at ugly pussy, he can drive to Tukwilla to enjoy.
93
Oops, one other point I wanted to make: When you squash down mild and playful expressions of sexuality in society, it finds other, less appropriate ways to make its presence felt - like in coffee huts where ladies show their vaginas to horny men.

I'm pro bikini or sexy costume coffee huts - but obviously some of the things those girls are doing cross the line, strictly from a food service/hygienic standpoint. But that situation exists due in large part to our prudish laws here in Washington State.

In my formerly porn-ridden hometown (they cleaned it up when the casinos came in) we never had problems with public sex - like many Seattle parks do - because there was a place to engage in that: Several places, actually, all right there on the Main Street. You didn't need to buy a membership, or rent a locker, you just needed to buy a ticket or have some change. It may have looked tacky, but those places definitely served a civic purpose. As did the stripper bars.
94
I got tired of skimming through the comments to see if anyone already made this point. So...

It's plain to me that the cops aren't charging prostitution because that's the crime being committed, or the conviction they hope to get; they're doing this to get the place to go out of business fighting these charges, and discourage others from opening up by example. This will of course scare off the barista/strippers who others might hire if they think they'll bet a prostitution rap too. It might very well serve as a scare tactic to rile up suburbs all up and down the I-5 corridor too.

That said, there was a lot more skanky stuff going on at this place then I was led to believe. About 20 years ago there was a topless donut shop (you read that right) near Fort Collins, CO that I checked out because it was getting a lot of publicity. It was pretty benign - no stripping, no poles, no lap dances, just girls with no shirts serving you donuts. I thought these espresso stands were along those lines, but lacking visible nipples too.

If Everett doesn't want visible, drive-through stripping, that's Everett's business, not yours. But this moral panic response is heavy handed, probably unconstitutional but something police departments have been doing to enforce the unwritten rules forever. They'll get away with it because, no matter how liberal Western Washington thinks it is, most people want this stuff in windowless rooms.
95
@70: FTMFW.

Unless there's signage outside the place outright promising "free crotch shot with every flavour shot", then there's going to be a problem on the commerce-trade side of approving business permits.

Isn't this the same kiosk on Everett Mall Way in service since the early part of the decade? It looks at least that familiar. Then again, Everett has this way of coating everything with the same cheap patina — from creepy lunchtime Boeing workers sporting dockers and Blackberries to, well, an anthropological field study of the folk who shop that shady Albertsons on Evergreen Way and Madison. It all looks the same: it's either Everett or Neverett.

I doubt it's all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows to work at a shitty joe shack in the middle of the arse end of the Pacific Northwest, only to freeze in low-rent skimpware to help low-rent guys with upstanding careers and families to toss out their home-grown bonus shots. The Lusty Lady's got to be a warmer place for that. But it's a recession, and you gotta put food on the table.

Even so, this challenges everything because it's not a space people typically associate with IYF sexuality. That's why everyone's knickers are in a knot and are making this blog post so stupidly popular.
96
its all the stuff you did not hear about that's getting these places shut down they only tell you about the mild stuff. these girls were fucking themselves with popsicles letting guys finger there pussy's and asssholes and that's why they got busted and as for why they don't just go get a job at the strip club that's where they came from a lot of them worked at honeys

They sure seem friendlier than your typical Seattle barista.

"They sure seem friendlier than your typical Seattle barista."

that's because they are 'porn dykes', not real ones.
