Grays Harbor County restaurant health inspections
Published 1:30 am Wednesday, July 15, 2026
There are two types of violations recorded on the inspection report:
Red critical violations are food handling practices that, when not done properly, are most likely to lead to foodborne illnesses. These food handling practices include:
Controlling temperatures, such as cooking meats to the proper temperature to kill foodborne disease germs, keeping food hot enough until it is served, and keeping food cold enough
Blue violations are primarily maintenance and sanitation issues that are not likely to be the cause of a foodborne illness.
If the establishment scores at least 35 but not more than 74 red points, a reinspection will occur within 30 days. During the reinspection, the inspector will confirm that all red point violations have been corrected.
If the establishment scores at least 75 red points or an imminent health hazard is observed, a closure will be posted. To reopen, the owner/operator must schedule an inspection and the inspector will confirm that all red point violations have been corrected and/or that the imminent health hazard has been corrected.

Refrigerate mustard after opening.
Self-closing hinges on the restrooms are not required since the restrooms aren’t located inside the food establishment.
Restrooms don’t have adequate hot water. Hot water is initially available but temperature drops off significantly after running the water for only a short time. Temperature was measured at 78°F. Seabrook must make appropriate adjustments to ensure hot water of at least 100°F is provided in both restrooms. Contact the Building Department if the water heaters will be replaced as permits may be required.
If adequate hot water cannot be provided in the restrooms, it may result in enforcement action by our office including permit suspension until sufficient restrooms can be provided. Please keep our office updated
