Former Starbucks (SBUX) CEO Howard Schultz announced on LinkedIn that he and his wife Sheri have moved from Seattle to Miami, marking the end of a more than four-decade chapter in Washington State. The announcement came just hours after Washington lawmakers approved a controversial new “millionaires tax,” fueling speculation that the timing may not be coincidental.
In a reflective post Tuesday, Schultz described the move as the next step in retirement after building Starbucks from a small Seattle coffee retailer into one of the most recognizable global brands.
