Here are all the neighborhood restaurant inspections for the last two months. We’re also now including restaurants on Aurora Avenue, which we haven’t always done in the past. And we’re also listing the restaurants with no violations.
Inspections are performed by Public Health – Seattle & King County. According to Public Health, 35 or more red critical violation points require a re-inspection within 14 days; 90 or more red critical violation points require the establishment be closed; and 120 or more total red and blue points also requires the establishment be closed.
