Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz moves to Florida from Washington state

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz and his wife announced they’ve moved to Florida for their "retirement phase," leaving Washington state after nearly half a century.

Schultz shared the news in a post on LinkedIn, recounting how he, his wife Sheri, and their golden retriever Jonas, made the move from New York City to Seattle 44 years ago.

"We were starting a new life," Shultz wrote, recalling how Sheri would be their primary income earner as he started a new job "at a place called Starbucks" in September 1982.
