Seattle health inspections, explained

How does Seattle grade restaurants?

Public Health — Seattle & King County posts a word, not a letter: Excellent, Good, Okay, or Needs To Improve. The rating is deliberately not a snapshot — it averages the establishment’s recent routine inspections, so one bad day does not sink a consistently clean kitchen and one good day does not rescue a bad one. Inspectors score violations in red points for things that directly cause foodborne illness and blue points for everything else; around 45 red points triggers a mandatory re-inspection. Newly opened or recently changed spots can show as Not Rated until enough inspections accumulate.

How many Seattle restaurants have a clean rating?

Of the 12,421 Seattle restaurants Cooked tracks, 11,245 are currently rated clean, 1,117 are mid, and 57 are cooked — about 91% of rated spots come back clean.

Where does this Seattle inspection data come from?

Directly from Public Health — Seattle & King County, published as open data through King County Open Data. Cooked preserves the source result and adds its own clean, mid or cooked comparison. These labels and list rankings are Cooked’s interpretation, not extra findings from the authority.

How often are Seattle restaurants inspected?

That varies by risk and by city policy, and a restaurant can be re-inspected sooner after a bad result. The most recent inspection in Cooked's Seattle data is dated September 1, 2026.
