Rick and Kathy Jacobson opened Wired and Unplugged Internet Coffeehouse in June of 2004 with a focus on creating a venue for local musicians. Upstart songwriter Rory Corbin was introduced to the Jacobsons by fellow songwriter Beth Whitney a week before the opening of the new venue. Upon discovering there was no current music program, Rory offered to host an open mic on Friday nights. Over three years this event has since grown to become the social hub for the community of Wired & Unplugged musicians.
On May 29, 2007 the sale of Wired & Unplugged transferred ownership to Paul Henderson and Kim Longmore, avid local music supporters as well as performing musicians. With a mission to preserve the heart of Wired & Unplugged's community they are step by step expanding the amenities and quality of service. After a whirlwind remodel Wired & Unplugged now features a vastly expanded kitchen, increased menu as well as a new stage and sound booth in the music room. Ongoing improvements will continue to take place over the coming months.
The coffee house is located in two storefronts of a 100-year-old building near the river in old Snohomish (map).
The coffeehouse has wi-fi, hard cable hookups for those with laptops but without a wireless card, and a desktop computer. Computer and wi-fi use are free with purchase.
Enjoy wonderfully rich Brown & Co. fair-trade, organic coffee and get cozy with your laptop or a book at one of our tables or on our cozy couches.
