Washington Bitcoin Merchant Directory

Washington’s Bitcoin merchant list includes 278 businesses, ranging from coffee shops and salons to a hot tub maker that heats its tubs using bitcoin mining. The list covers 94 named cities, with Seattle leading at 46 listings. First up is a Washington-based U.S. manufacturer with a particularly distinctive product.

Snorkel: A Hot Tub Maker That Heats With Bitcoin

Snorkel has made hot tubs in the Pacific Northwest since 1979, while its wood-stove business goes back to the late 1970s. The tubs stand out for being made entirely of cedar and for their wood stove, which is fully submerged in the water, with the “snorkel” extending above the water. This is convenient for people without an electrical hookup.

It began with a bet in 2025. Owner Michael Diederich started accepting bitcoin for hot tubs after making a wager with his brother. Payments came in slowly at first, but bitcoiners kept asking him to build a hot tub powered by bitcoin miners. He began building one, pairing the tub with miners that heat the water. Snorkel is working on the build with Dane Soja of Hashrate House.

The prototype used two S19J Pro miners drawing about 8 kW; the company says they heated a tub from cold to 104°F (40°C) in less than four hours. The project received an innovation award at the Heat Punk Summit in Denver, where a Snorkel tub is on display. Diederich envisions a future in which miners heat every electric hot tub, since mining income helps offset the energy cost that would otherwise be wasted as heat.

The Rose Gift House and Coffee, Renton

The Rose is located at 226 Main Ave S in downtown Renton, in the Old Renton Pub building. Owner Katie Newman opened it in October 2020 as a gift shop that also served coffee; coffee later became the larger part of the business. The shop carries locally roasted coffee, handpicked artisan goods and grab-and-go food. It won Best Customer Service in the 2025 Best of Renton readers’ poll.

Overcast Coffee, Seattle

Overcast Coffee is on Capitol Hill. It began as a walk-up counter at 312 15th Ave E, next to Kaiser Permanente. Owner Jonathan Pak opened the first shop there in June 2020. The business later added a second location at 1517 12th Ave, inside the Metier bike complex. It sources coffee and ingredients from small, local Seattle businesses.
