Cooked?Seattle Restaurant Inspection Data: Ratings, Areas & Freshness
A live, data-backed report on Seattle restaurant inspection results: current rating distribution, record freshness, local-area concentrations and repeated-name locations.
Live report. The measurements below are calculated from Cooked’s current copy of the official Public Health — Seattle & King County feed and refresh after new data is ingested.
How to read this report
One row means one operating establishment or permit in the source—not necessarily one company. A restaurant with several separately permitted counters can appear more than once, while a business the authority marks as gone is excluded. Health-department closures remain included because they are active inspection facts.
“Clean”, “mid” and “cooked” are Cooked’s comparison bands; the authority’s own rating remains the source of truth. clean = Excellent/Good, mid = Okay, cooked = Needs To Improve — King County’s placard ratings.
Public Health — Seattle & King County publishes itemized findings for this feed, but this report compares current official results rather than treating every violation as equally serious. The local-area table uses only areas with a meaningful rated sample, and the repeated-name table describes matching public names rather than claiming common ownership.
