Key Takeaways
- •BTC Map's community-maintained survey identifies 278 Washington State businesses accepting bitcoin across 94 named cities, with Seattle accounting for 46 listings.
- •Snorkel, a hot tub maker operating in the Pacific Northwest since 1979, started accepting bitcoin in 2025 after owner Michael Diederich made a wager with his brother.
- •Snorkel's prototype pairs a cedar tub with two S19J Pro miners drawing about 8 kW, which the company says heated the water from cold to 104°F (40°C) in under four hours.
- •The miner-heated tub project, built with Dane Sjoden of Hashrate House, won an innovation award at the Heat Punk Summit in Denver, where a Snorkel tub is on display.
- •Featured bitcoin-accepting merchants include The Rose Gift House and Coffee in Renton, which won a 2025 Best of Renton customer service award, and Overcast Coffee's two Seattle locations.

A community-maintained directory of Washington State businesses accepting bitcoin has reached 278 listings, according to a survey by BTC Map. The list spans 94 named cities, with Seattle leading the way at 46 entries, and ranges from coffee shops and beauty salons to a hot tub manufacturer that heats its tubs with bitcoin mining. Because BTC Map is community-maintained, the directory is best understood as a snapshot of reported merchant acceptance; readers can contact BTC Map or series author Vagabond with updates.
Snorkel: A Hot Tub Maker That Heats With Bitcoin
First among the highlights is a homegrown Washington manufacturer with an unusual product. Snorkel has been making hot tubs in the Pacific Northwest since 1979, and its wood-stove business dates to the late 1970s. What sets the company apart is its full cedar tubs, in which the wood stove is fully submerged in the water with the "snorkel" extending above the surface — a design that is especially convenient for customers with no electrical hookup.
The bitcoin chapter began with a bet in 2025. Owner Michael Diederich started accepting bitcoin for hot tubs after a wager with his brother. Payments were slow to trickle in at first, but bitcoiners kept asking him to build a hot tub powered by bitcoin miners. He started building one, pairing the tub with miners that heat the water, and works with Dane Sjoden of Hashrate House on the build.
The prototype uses two S19J Pro miners drawing about 8 kW, which the company says heated a tub from cold to 104°F (40°C) in under four hours. The project won an innovation award at the Heat Punk Summit in Denver, where a Snorkel tub is on display. Diederich sees a future in which every electric hot tub is heated by miners, because the mining income helps pay back the cost of energy that would otherwise be wasted as heat.
The Rose Gift House and Coffee, Renton
The Rose sits 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 happened to serve coffee, and the coffee side grew into the larger part of the business. The shop stocks locally roasted coffee, handpicked artisan goods, and grab-and-go food, and it won Best Customer Service in the 2025 Best of Renton readers' poll.
Overcast Coffee, Seattle
Overcast Coffee is on Capitol Hill and started as a walk-up counter at 312 15th Ave E beside Kaiser Permanente. Owner Jonathan Pak opened the first shop there in June 2020. A second location, at 1517 12th Ave inside the Metier bike complex, came later, and the company buys its coffee and ingredients from small, local Seattle businesses.
