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 12,262 Seattle restaurants Cooked tracks, 11,117 are currently rated clean, 1,095 are mid, and 50 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 refreshes it daily and does not edit, score or rerank the results — the rating you see is the one the city issued.

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 July 28, 2026.
