Seattle local coverage / Public records
Seattle, WA public records
The official records we read for Seattle every day, as tables rather than stories: 4 rows across 2 kinds of record. Every row links to the source it came from. Nothing on this page is written by a model.
Business openings and closures reported
last read 2026-10-01 07:48 ETWhat Newzino reported from licence and permit records in the last 180 days. An opening needs two kinds of record for one business at one address; a closure is a licence absent from consecutive readings and is worded "appears to have closed".
| Date | What was reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Exit 5 Korean Bbq In Ballard licensed to open at 2316 NW MARKET ST in Seattle | record |
| 2026-10-01 | Chikku Chikku Llc licensed to open at 6414 LATONA AVE NE in Seattle | record |
Each row links to the story where one exists, and to the official record.
New licences and permits on the official rosters
last read 2026-10-01 07:48 ETEvery business record that appeared on the city's or county's own lists in the last 90 days. A record is not an opening by itself - a permit alone means plans filed - which is why this table is separate from the one above.
| Date | Name | Address | Record |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Chikku Chikku Llc | 6414 LATONA AVE NE, SEATTLE, WA 98115-6557 | Food service licence |
| 2026-10-01 | Exit 5 Korean Bbq In Ballard | 2316 NW MARKET ST, SEATTLE, WA 98107-4026 | Food service licence |
Where the source publishes no date, the row says when the record was first listed - the day we first read it, not the day it was filed. The day a roster was read for the very first time is left out entirely: on that day every long-established business would wrongly read as new.
