Food safety inspections conducted by Public Health Seattle & King County determine if a restaurant has met the minimum standards to operate.

The grade displayed on the window sign will represent how well a restaurant has met the minimum standard.

Public Health said purpose of the ratings is to help people make educated dining decisions with the goals of providing information that is easy to understand, promotes food safety and is fair to food businesses.

A movement around Seattle to publicly post their inspection scores was renewed after recent E. Coli outbreaks.
