Rumor: Starbucks buying Seattle Coffee?

No this isn't an April Fools Joke. It was posted yesterday in Puget Sound Business Journal where a rumor that Starbucks Corp. might be interested in purchasing Seattle Coffee Co. -- which owns the brands Seattle's Best Coffee and Torrefazione Italia -- is gaining the attention of analysts.

Both of the companies arn't commenting at the moment but there is speculation its in the works. Any word on this or thoughts about it? I love Seattle Coffee in comparisons to Starbucks so I'd hope they wouldn't shut down or replace storefronts with the big S.
