Forty baristas are competing for the title of best latte artist during Coffee Fest at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center this weekend.
The barista who shows the most deft combination of technical expertise and artistic whimsy will win $5,000.
The finals occur Saturday evening.
Coffee Fest, which brings together retailers, roasters and distributors, got its start in Seattle in 1992 as a consumer festival.
