Dani Cone wrote for The Stranger before opening the first Fuel—a gem of a coffee shop—on 19th Avenue East in 2005. A second Fuel opened in Montlake in 2006. This week, a third Fuel opens in Wallingford. Cone has a knack for creating hip-but-comfortable spaces, and the new Fuel features her trademark rough-edged industrial theme. The opening art show is also a conflict of interest: Peter Kearns is The Stranger's club ad rep—and a talented photographer (www.pkearns.com). (Fuel Coffee, 1705 N 45th St, 634-2700. Grand opening Sat April 7, 2-—9 pm.) by Dan Savage
