Food inspection results in Thurston County – June 8, 2026

Posted

Restaurant inspection reports focus on two types of violations: red and blue.

Red violations are the most serious and are most likely to cause food-borne illness. The violations must be corrected immediately or within a deadline set by the health officer.

Blue violations relate to cleanliness and facility conditions, and are corrected on a set compliance schedule.

A reinspection is required if:

  • Red points exceed 45, or
  • Total red and blue points exceed 65.

If red points exceed 100 and inspectors find poor managerial control, the establishment may be shut down. Closures can also happen at any time if there is an immediate health hazard, regardless of score. Reopening requires proof that all violations have been corrected.
