New restaurant filings in Washington

Restaurant liquor application notice

Washington, statewide. Daily postings, checked daily.

Restaurant, tavern and snack-bar liquor applications, license assumptions by a new owner and premises changes that the Liquor and Cannabis Board sends to local authorities, with the applicant's published day phone. A notice is not an approved license.

First county health inspection

King County (Seattle, Bellevue, Kent, Redmond and the county's other cities), Washington. County table refreshed about daily, checked daily.

Restaurants, cafes, bars and bakeries in King County whose earliest health inspection in the county's records is in the last 90 days, dated by that inspection, with the county's risk category and seating range. The county's records run from January 2021 and it publishes no permit or opening date, so a record is a newly permitted restaurant that has opened, or an existing one permitted again under a new number, for example under a new owner; an inspection date is not an opening date. The county publishes no phone. Mobile units, caterers, grocery and meat markets, school and institutional kitchens, stands with no plumbing, airport stands, and by name company dining rooms, stadium and store counters, casinos, clubs and hotels are left out.

New business license

Seattle, Washington. City dataset, checked daily.

New business licenses for restaurants, cafeterias, coffee shops and bars, with the published business phone.

New restaurant business license

Everett (Snohomish County), Washington. City list updated as licenses are issued, checked daily.

Restaurants, cafes, coffee and snack bars and bars newly licensed by the City of Everett, north of Seattle, dated by the license's issue date in the last 90 days, at a postal Everett address (a few lie just outside the city limits). The license also carries the first day of business the owner gave the city, which can be months before the license or still ahead: a license can go to a new restaurant or an existing one, for example under a new owner, and is not a confirmed opening. The city publishes no phone. Businesses in operation more than a year before their license, caterers, food trucks and other mobile food, contract food services, businesses based outside Everett, apartments, post office boxes and people trading under their own names are left out.

New restaurant business license account

Tacoma, Washington. City directory updated daily, checked daily.

Restaurants, cafes, snack bars and bars with a City of Tacoma business license account whose business open date is in the last 90 days, at a site address in the city. The open date is the one the business gave the city; the city's directory lists active accounts and does not say whether a business holds a current-year license. A new account can be a new restaurant or an existing one under a new owner or at a new address; it is not a confirmed opening. The city publishes no phone. Caterers, food trucks, in-store counters, apartments, mailboxes and businesses sited outside Tacoma are left out, and so are snack bars held by a person with no suite in the address, which are often a home.

Restaurant construction permit

Seattle, Washington. City dataset refreshed daily, checked daily.

City of Seattle building permits for a restaurant, cafe, coffee shop, bakery, brewery, bar or other eating and drinking place: changes of use to a restaurant, restaurant build-outs and larger work at existing restaurants, at three stages (applied for, issued, all inspections completed), each record dated by its latest stage and carrying the city's estimated project cost. A record is named by the business when the city's description names one, else it is the premises. The city publishes no phone. Hotels, schools, hospitals, cafeterias, stadium concessions, grocery stores, food processing and delivery kitchens, demolitions, a restaurant changing to another use and small repairs at existing restaurants are left out. A permit is not a confirmed opening; it can also be work at a restaurant that is already open.

Franchise restaurant sold

Nationwide, a few a month. Checked daily.

When FranBizNetwork, the brokerage that runs Restaurant Intel, closes the sale of a franchise restaurant in Washington, the sold location is in the report too: address, brand, close date and the business phone when the brokerage has it. It is our own sale record, not a government filing, and the row says so. Never the buyer, seller or price.
