    <TD>Pursuant to Rule&nbsp;457(h)(1) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities
Act, the offering price is estimated solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee. The proposed maximum offering
price per share is estimated to be $29.79, based on the average
of the high sales price ($30.08) and the low sales price
($29.50) per share of the Registrant&#146;s Common Stock as reported
by the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May&nbsp;10, 2007. Pursuant to
Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the registration fee of
$4,215.28 is offset by registration fees of $5,958.51 previously
paid by Starbucks Corporation with respect to 3,136,060 unissued
shares of common stock registered under the Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No.&nbsp;333-101806) of Starbucks
Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December&nbsp;12, 2002. Of that previously paid registration fee,
$4,215.28 shall be applied to the registration fee associated
with this Registration Statement. A post-effective amendment to
the foregoing Registration Statement to deregister such 3,136,060
unissued shares is being filed contemporaneously with the filing
of this Registration Statement.</TD>

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections&nbsp;23B.08.510 and 23B.08.570 of the Washington Business Corporation Act (the &#147;WBCA&#148;)
authorize Washington corporations to indemnify directors and officers under certain circumstances
against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings in which they are involved by reason
of being a director or officer, as applicable. Section&nbsp;23B.08.560 of the WBCA authorizes a
corporation by provision in a bylaw approved by its shareholders to indemnify or agree to indemnify
a director made a party to a proceeding, or obligate itself to advance or reimburse expenses
incurred in a proceeding, without regard to the limitations imposed by Sections&nbsp;23B.08.510 through
23B.08.550; provided that no such indemnity shall indemnify any director from or on account of (a)
acts or omissions of the director finally adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (b)&nbsp;conduct of the director finally adjudged to be in violation of Section
23B.08.310 of the WBCA (which section relates to unlawful distributions) or (c)&nbsp;any transaction
with respect to which it was finally adjudged that such director personally received a benefit in
money, property or services to which the director was not legally entitled.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;9 of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that, to the fullest extent that the WBCA permits the limitation or elimination of
directors&#146; liability, a director shall not be liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for
monetary damages as a result of acts or omissions as a director. Article&nbsp;VIII of the Registrant&#146;s
Amended and Restated Bylaws requires the Registrant to indemnify every present or former director
or officer to the fullest extent authorized by the WBCA or other applicable law against liabilities
and losses incurred in connection with serving as a director or officer, as applicable, and to
advance expenses of such director or officer in connection with defending any proceeding covered by
the indemnity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance under which the
Registrant&#146;s directors and officers are insured against loss (as defined in the policy) as a result
of claims brought against them for their wrongful acts in such capacities.

Statement; and
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to Rule 457(h)(1) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities
Act, the offering price is estimated solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee. The proposed maximum offering
price per share is estimated to be $29.79, based on the average
of the high sales price ($30.08) and the low sales price
($29.50) per share of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported
by the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 10, 2007. Pursuant to
Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the registration fee of
$4,215.28 is offset by registration fees of $5,958.51 previously
paid by Starbucks Corporation with respect to 3,136,060 unissued
shares of common stock registered under the Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-101806) of Starbucks
Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 12, 2002. Of that previously paid registration fee,
$4,215.28 shall be applied to the registration fee associated
with this Registration Statement. A post-effective amendment to
the foregoing Registration Statement to deregister such 3,136,060
unissued shares is being filed contemporaneously with the filing
of this Registration Statement.

Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Not applicable.
Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Sections 23B.08.510 and 23B.08.570 of the Washington Business Corporation Act (the "WBCA")
authorize Washington corporations to indemnify directors and officers under certain circumstances
against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings in which they are involved by reason
of being a director or officer, as applicable. Section 23B.08.560 of the WBCA authorizes a
corporation by provision in a bylaw approved by its shareholders to indemnify or agree to indemnify
a director made a party to a proceeding, or obligate itself to advance or reimburse expenses
incurred in a proceeding, without regard to the limitations imposed by Sections 23B.08.510 through
23B.08.550; provided that no such indemnity shall indemnify any director from or on account of (a)
acts or omissions of the director finally adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (b) conduct of the director finally adjudged to be in violation of Section
23B.08.310 of the WBCA (which section relates to unlawful distributions) or (c) any transaction
with respect to which it was finally adjudged that such director personally received a benefit in
money, property or services to which the director was not legally entitled.
Article 9 of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that, to the fullest extent that the WBCA permits the limitation or elimination of
directors' liability, a director shall not be liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for
monetary damages as a result of acts or omissions as a director. Article VIII of the Registrant's
Amended and Restated Bylaws requires the Registrant to indemnify every present or former director
or officer to the fullest extent authorized by the WBCA or other applicable law against liabilities
and losses incurred in connection with serving as a director or officer, as applicable, and to
advance expenses of such director or officer in connection with defending any proceeding covered by
the indemnity.
The Registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance under which the
Registrant's directors and officers are insured against loss (as defined in the policy) as a result
of claims brought against them for their wrongful acts in such capacities.
Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefits plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
