Dutch Bros (BROS) looking like a strong longterm investment. Here in the PNW its a huge brand with a ridiculous following. Still room for advancement.
Dutch $BROS IPO a coffee shop with an experience that’s highly regarded in the PNW as the place to go, quickly expanding across the US. What do you think about it?

Same! We only use it when it is blisteringly wet outside which is most days in the PNW but as you point out the deals work out, too. Most chain stores now run their own delivery service or have a subsection of Instacart where you see more products and better prices than if you went through Instacart first. Walmart has a neat local delivery in as little as 30 minutes if need be depending on location relative to the store. Instacart has been in between struggling and being on top wave after wave. When COVID hit and curbside delivery or pickup became a thing in the years following it made it easier to pick up groceries already picked up and avoid the delivery fees unless you hit some magic number to make it free or discounted to almost nothing.
From the videos I am seeing going around lately, the french way of protesting is fucking up small businesses and physically assaulting them when they attempt to stop this from happening. I already live in the PNW USA so we are way ahead of you.
The companies promised they would build their own power generation for these data centers then conveniently forgot to build them in most cases and instead relied on purchasing from the grid and drove up consumer electricity prices. Here in the PNW my rates have gone up 50% in the last five years.
Western Canada is also part of the PNW LMAO🤌🗽🦅
The amount of people on here that believed bearhunter canadien. Dude is from PNW. I would know, I can smell the stench of beady-eyed ~~indiens~~ canadiens lmfaooooo
This has to be one of the best times to visit the PNW (Aug thru Oct imho) It’s just so nice & lush & fresh 🍃🫁😤🍂
***Laffing @ wageslaves in Commiefornia today from the PNW where the highs are 18C, air quality is superior, there is actually a Fall season, & where sales tax doesn’t exist***
I checked the Weather app & I’ve decided to stay in the PNW until further notice Why tf is SoCal 37C in October❓ I’m so tired of it because for such HCOL the weather’s supposed to be perfect 366 days a year
Everyone in the coastal PNW city I live in are super fit, but most of us are obsessed with mountain biking
This has to depend on the location. The only times I eat McDonalds are if I'm starving and driving a longer distance. The Maccas at rest stops in the PNW move their inside orders fast. I go inside to get a break from my car and stretch my legs a bit.
Wow, ur my kind of autist. If you are in the PNW and need a charge you can swing by. I'm on several lists, but one is for the Fathom. I have a 50 amp lvl 2 home charger for my electric Mustang.
Gotcha, I'm in the PNW, TikTok/Instagram life is mostly for teenagers. Outdoors-y culture is what is prevalent with grownups. Even flex culture isn't a thing here; you might see people with $10m+ net worth driving a Prius or a Suburu Outback.
I wish I could remember which thread but there was a couple who bought an orchard up in PNW (apples?). The best I recall, their sweet Richard was decimated by a nearby commercial operation that illegally used some sort of pesticide. Completely unforeseen, they were locked up in legal stuff but there was simply no way it was recoupable, and it was their lifetime investment - maybe it was on r/treelaw. I assume you’re much more knowledgeable than me, but I feel like there are multidimensional risks in a strategy like that where you really have to look through a lot of lens to play it right.
I’ll be so for real, I’m not him but 5 years ago I planted like 6 blueberry bushes and this year I got about 10-12 pints from them, maybe more. First year I’ve gotten that many. It took them a long time to grow large. Dude definitely is NOT rolling in dough and I say that as an experienced backyard grower (I also have a 7-year garden). My bushes were more expensive than the “profit” they’ve turned and I live in the fairly predictable PNW where many of your blueberries are grown. (They taste better tho)
Around here (PNW) $390k basically gets you a trailer park "house"
Well the PNW is on fire if you're looking for hell.
I live in the PNW... RIP me?
It’s 5:02 am over here in PNW
Their “revenue” is all speculation. Just like all AI companies right now. They report “deals” onto their balance sheets with no cash exchange whatsoever. It’s a scam. Always has been. I live in the PNW and they are still talking about the chip industry here being irrelevant in the next 5 years. Intel being the biggest chip manufacturer here. We live in an era that the federal government is allowing companies that they choose and invest in to report falsified balance sheets so that lawmakers and their donors can profit off of fraud. The regulators got pushed out for a reason.
I mean do they really need ACs if the weather is tolerable? Many in the PNW dont have it.
My old condo building was wired for microwave Internet with a direct line of sight connection to the Seattle Internet Exchange (basically the co-location hub for the PNW). The latency and download speeds with that Internet connection were ungodly, and I could download entire lossless Blu-ray rips in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately I moved out of that building and I'm not sure the microwave Internet service is even available anymore because I think the line of sight ended up being blocked by all the new towers that went up over the years.
You realize they just pass the fuel cost on, PNW has a “PNW Surcharge” on all freight lol
I can get a chicken burrito or bowl thats almost enough for two meals in itself for $10.50 at Chipotle in the PNW. It is one of the best values around
You act like the PNW doesn’t have its fair share of banjo players 😂😂
I’m from PNW but thanks!
If its not about tax savings, which luckily for you no income tax, (i live in oregon and am self employed so I get double screwed 🙄) than really it sounds like you just want to pinch a few more pennies in a cheaper CoL state. Are you native to PNW? And would moving somewhere with a drastic weather difference be something you consider? If you like heat, and severe weather, hurricanes, thunder, flooding, etc. Than why not. More money for FDs.
Y'know, I always joked that my retirement plan was to go into the woods in the PNW and punch a bear. Looks like that's going to be more of a reality soon.
I converted my 4Runner into an over landing rig. It has a bed platform, solar auxiliary system for lights, air compressor, shower and fridge. The bed is foldable and I kept 3/5 of the seats. Tons of storage under the bed. Pretty hyped, going to take it on a long trip soon through PNW
You do know that we have already built the ISS that can dissipate 200kw of heat using 30 year old technology, right? That footprint alone is enough to run a small GPU cluster. And tech has come a long way since then. Plus if we can run the cycle 20 degrees hotter, the Boltzmann's equation starts helping us exponentially. It's not the unsurmountable barrier you think it is. Much easier than convincing a PNW state to put in one more data center.
> appreciate you! Oh god, that's hit the PNW now too? I thought that was just a southern thing 😂 > I worked for a CS competitor that got ruined due to multiple acquisitions up until 2023. Carbon Black? 😄 > but I wonder if I'm on some kind of blacklist now for doing what I did with backing out of my signed offer. The recruiter was so pissed and kind of insinuated that I can't help you there... I never really dealt with the recruiters, pretty much everyone on my team was hired because one of us had worked with them before, because the recruitment process was so annoying after they went full-corporate... my team was kinda a snowflake in the company, though, so 🤷 I am like 95% certain that if a specific manager wanted to hire you, they could make it happen, though. Of course, that'd require you being in touch with them first, not the recruiters.
You located in the PNW perchance?
are you in PNW? I was looking at iren today, but premium wasn't great for the strike i wanted... I think i was looking at the $40 strike. I'm mostly just playing saas rn. NOW, MNDY, ZS, PANW
you live in the PNW and love the outdoors
None. I have positions in $CRWD, $MSFT, $PNW and $TEAM.
I’m on the east coast and I’ve been staring at my phone wondering why the fuck things aren’t moving all morning. Ftr I live in the PNW so I’m used to markets open at 6:30
it's all those tornadoes in the midwest combined with the southeast's wildfire smoke. of course, i'm in the PNW, i am chill
I love crabbing in the PNW. Inevitably funny stories. Like the time we caught a shark in the pot (Dogfish), and the time my truck broke down while driving live Dungeness 4-hours home. Tipped the tow driver with crab for coming to get me on his anniversary. His wife was happy with the surprise dinner.
I don't personally know anyone that has bought one recently, but I definitely see new models around town. People are still buying them in troves. I'm in the PNW.
I don’t know, I’m from PNW and right now there are so many flights Seattle to Japan and for cheap! I wouldn’t be shocked if for someone in the PNW it’s actually cheaper to go to Japan for an equal length trip to Colorado. However probably not easier, given the flight is longer, but probably a better vacation overall for comparable price
It’s already about $6 most places in the PNW where I live
It is going to be a glorious spring day out here in the PNW. Heading out for the coast later in the afternoon
> Low snowpack is also going to have a negative effect on hydro-power generation. PNW & CA will feel that mid-to-late summer. Just in time for rising natural gas prices from AI data centers' electricity usage and Gulf states' LNG exports vaporizing.
Already topped $5 here in the PNW
Not entirely true that it will guarantee a bad fire season. If the summer is hotter as well, then yes. But that's not always the case. Low snowpack is also going to have a negative effect on hydro-power generation. PNW & CA will feel that mid-to-late summer.
No, I resell rock music gear in the PNW and in this same period I have seen a notable uptick in buyer interest. It was a doldrums for Jan-Feb.
Jfc that makes it worse. It was 80 in the PNW and cool in the SW.
I won a contract bid to feed workers at a refinery in the PNW so I know a bit about this sort of thing Refineries should NOT be on fire, to my understanding
Doesn't exist in PNW
Crazy. PNW is having a rough time. Do NOT trust redfin/zillow/etc as accurate information. In my complex and it shows the neighboring units as valued 100k over the ones actively selling and sitting for months units, all identical units and floor plans.
My shitty house was built in 1920 with old growth wood in the PNW. It’s outstanding.
Pros: KC has amazing BBQ, STL does as well but I prefer Joe’s BBQ in KC STL has Forest Park. It’s where they had the world’s fair in 1904, I think the date is right. Forest park has the Zoo, Art Museum, history museum and a big ass fountain with tons of space to enjoy the day. Best thing. Free of charge. Admission to all the above is free to the public. Certain special things do charge but general admission is free STL and KC both are relatively cheaper to live, compared to most of the country. It’s also slower in my general opinion. Slower in terms of no one is really in rush. People rush to work and stuff like that but from my experiences people stopped to talk to strangers more than the PNW where I’m at now. STL also has the Arch so if you wanna go up 630 feet in the air and look down, it’s cool. Tbh there is a lot of unique history in both cities as well. I’m really big with history so could go on for a bit on some of the historical stuff that happened in both cities.
Already seeing $6 diesel in the PNW. Gasoline is close if not already there in some areas.
I'm in the PNW. I was surprised to see gas was closer to $4 in other places! I'm fortunate that gas prices don't effect me very much. But I feel for people that they do.
Are you in the PNW? My condolences if so. I still can’t believe how expensive gas is out there.
PNW USO SU AG PRZO CHXMF TSLVF , got today in one form or another
My Wusthof knife and my fancy cookware ended up being the best investment. But hiking in the PNW was fun too
Between that and property taxes I just don’t feel like buying yet. It’s crazy here now (PNW) because of the fires.
Another win for the PNW
I hated Florida too. PNW is beautiful
It rains most of the year. Make sure you can deal with that. It's very beautiful in the PNW, though.
I think I'm moving to the PNW next year. Getting like 40 days of winter, spring and fall combined and 325 days of summer is killing my soul. It's 81 degrees in february...
indices are dull. dark and cloudy in the PNW, go back to bed or watch a historic food channel?
I always feel good on TDG, PNW, and PPA
Never been to Europe and have little desire to travel there. Would much rather spend a vacation in the PNW or California
I live in Portland and the Bonneville Power Administration controls 75% of the transmission in the PNW. We have a unique situation where instead of utilities owning transmission lines, we have this odd self funded federal agency that is very conservative for transmission infrastructure build out. Because of this, ESS Tech's base would be a huge benefit for the utilities around here to act as an alternative to transmission near the large loads. I know PGE was working with ESS Tech a while back but they may haven't gotten cold feet when the financial situation was more dire. Unfortunately an Energy Base hasn't been built yet so a lot of potential buyers will probably want to wait until the salt river project gets built....almost two years from now...
Right like I don’t think they are aware or trying to make me feel guilty, I know they just want to see me and my family. Yeah for real I live in an incredibly expensive location (PNW) and it’s like I’m not living luxury over here. It’s like I’m screwing myself financially and with family time all because I want my kids to be raised by my wife and not the daycare or my mother. Crazy how difficult that is to accomplish nowadays I do truly make incredibly good money for my education level. This gathering is actually the weekend before, I will still be able to see my parents and sister/brother and their kids on Christmas Eve and probably day too. So it’s like.. not that my extended family isn’t a priority if they all gathered on Christmas Eve or day id see them because I’m able to take that time off. Side note I really appreciate these conversations with strangers even if some end up being AI HAHA 😂
We're have a warm weather in the PNW. Wet as hell, but it's in the mid 50s°F. Tropical moisture hitting US.
America will not last a 30 year long recession. Japan doesn't have the political issues America is going through and is much more compact making the difference in cultures in the country more familiar. As someone from the PNW every time I have visited the southwest I feel like it's a different country completely. America will absolutely fall apart and be a fundamentally different country if we enter an economic downturn that lasts more than a decade. So my answer is stocks will be the least of your concerns if America experiences that and you're a citizen.
It was funny here too https://www.threads.com/@mrs_fadaka/post/DRwhkHJiNSG?xmt=AQF0PNW0ptzbqljpl409-a7yAUes7Rh31L1dyy80hBVNVaqFbe_0Wlc9r1e8bB3PbpUebk6F&slof=1
This is an RFP/RFA. Meaning, the government will BUY power from the power plants. They dont own and operate or develop or build them... only the federal hydropower system is operated by the government, which includes plants in the PNW run by BPA and in the mountain west run by WAPA
I'm seeing similar price jumps in the PNW, but people who bought in 2019-2023 trying to 2x/3x what they paid. I honestly wouldn't mind as much if it was last sold in 2004!
I'm not in that target demographic (as I'm in my early 50's now).. but I've never owned a home and probably never will. The description they give of Renting, consuming more and riskier investments has been largely true for me. I moved cross-country about 2 years ago for a new job (that doubled my pay). I walked into an empty apartment with basically nothing but a Backpack and a sleeping bag. Over the past 2 years have been slowly purchasing all the stuff I needed (sit-stand desk, office chair, bed, kitchen stools, etc etc) .. so I've definitely spent more in the past 2 years than I probably have in the last 15 years. Nicer clothes, first time in my life I own multiple pairs of shoes, multiple coats (rainy PNW atmosphere), etc. Also began investing about a year ago.. basically doubled what I invested since then (pure 1st timers luck).
I used to live on the east coast, moved to PNW. I am loving WinCo.
No trees in CO to mess up the lines to the extent of the PNW.
ALK will not be hurt as much as other airlines since they are based in PNW severely undervalued
PNW. Where I’m from, they liberalized what you can buy with SNAP to include hot foods (deli items). All the homeless blow their points on 711 pizzas. You see the boxes everywhere. This is not to say, however, that SNAP is essential for most people.
That ($17) is honestly the standard price for any burrito place in PNW; the chips will cost you another $5.00. At least with Chipotle, you can attempt to get more for your money by asking for extras on the no additional charge toppings. :/
I'm in the weird desert part of PNW, the forest hippies are on the other side of the cascades.
As much as I like living out here in the middle of fucking nowhere in the PNW like Obi One Kunobee, I'm thinking about taking a much higher paying job at an Ivy league on the east coast. Never spent much time out there but I have to imagine it would be better. The people out here are too weird for me, and not like, too liberal, but just remote and well, I don't get the fuckin vibe I guess.
What are your go-to income-focused tickers these days? For me: SCHD, Realty Income, and some conservative exposure to PNW
In the PNW it takes up to 3-years just to get permits and complete a build of a 40’ x80’ steel building on property that you already own. The 1st year is just the back & forth with the drawings (building plans). If you’re not breaking ground by September, rains come and you can’t start until spring. If you’re not get it rocked, you can work during the rain season. This is true in a lot of other states in the USA. Permits + weather = delays… That’s just a “shop build” on property you already own…. A simple build. How long would it take to re-establish mining permits? How long would it take for a domestic automotive manufacturer to find, purchase land, design, permit, develop, purchase manufacturing machinery and hire labor to start manufacturing domestic vehicles? Yeah right, manufacturing is coming right back to the USA…. I think not…
Yep, false flag at reichstag to justify imprisoning office-holding political opposition. If this follows the same trajectory the democratic party will basically be nulll by midterms, which would mean no dissonance in state and local politics. Just pure unbridled concentrated power for Donnie. He knows that he will get a big protest in the PNW, this has a lot of dark elements brewing. This is why I don't like it when people say this is a distraction from the Epstein files when, if you look at the big picture, the Epstein files are a threat to this...
Having lived in rural eastern Washington I can tell you that the wind blowing out of the Columbia Gorge is plenty reliable to run those turbines, plus servicing them provides a lot of well paying blue collar jobs and also benefits farmers through lease payments. Energy storage has been solved in the PNW for a long time, the hydro dams on the Columbia can be quickly ramped up and down to respond to changes in demand, serving as giant batteries. Another upside is by taking some of the overall load off the hydro plants, more water can be saved for navigation in the fall when river levels are low. Plus it doesn’t eat up farmland like solar does.
always rainy in PNW bring it on
2 years ago I intentionally moved myself out to an isolated area in the PNW to get myself away from strip clubs. I was getting into a bit of trouble in the big city (which I was a high paid employee for) and routinely getting into potentially dangerous situations. I'd routinely find myself drunk and tweaking after spending thousands at the club, hanging out with the strippers, their handlers, and other elements of organized crime, while I myself was living a double life as a city crash investigator in my free time. I
Location. Location. Location. There are affordable homes in the PNW where I live. It would just make my commute about 2 hours each away, but at least the mortgage would only be 25% of my income. Are there affordable houses availible? Yes. Are they near areas of business where jobs are located? Not as much.
Shit be bomb bro. Im in the PNW so always got crab on deck. I went with crab, clams, corn, sausage, and potatoes. Fuego!
Do you play trumpet by chance and live in the PNW?
Funny you say that cause Whole Foods feels like one of the best balance for quality to price at least in my experience in PNW. Trader Joe’s probably tops it but it’s limited (by design) and somehow I’ve always had mixed experience with their produce. Fred Meyer is solid value but doesn’t have all the higher end products.
I live in PNW. I shit you not, behind my apartment building, there's a 20 acre forest. There's kind of a short path (like an acre through the forest to WMT). But the rest of the forest, the other 19 acres, there's 100+ people living there. I see them everywhere all the time everyday. Some guy on drugs was screaming at 3AM from the forest. They got surenos that show up in blue gang shit. I saw them once putting their gang colors on at the hotel. apparently the don't drive with their gay blue bandanas over their face. seen naked people, people doing the fenty lean. To answer your question. Morepeople livein the forest than my apartment building.
Come up to the Canadian Pacific North West (PNW) crank worx is awesome and we have a huge Mountain biking community.
I’m from California and I don’t get why people buy this bland shit, considering that there are Mexican restaurants, taco stands and taco trucks everywhere. I can understand it being popular in the south, PNW or northeast where there are few Mexicans, but not in California or the southwest
I live in the PNW. I already invest in local real estate (hence the funds). Too much effort and it distracts from day job.
