Congresswoman Suzan DelBene visited the Houghton Plaza Starbucks in Kirkland to hear about the company’s programs to employ students and veterans. She then took a turn as a barista.

Employees at the Houghton Plaza Starbucks joined DelBene in a discussion on veterans’ employment and tuition benefits for working students. Donning a green apron, DelBene then spent some time behind the bar making drinks for customers, including learning to make a soy latte.
