Terms of use

The plain-language terms for the Washington Eats app and this website. Last updated 2026-10-12.

What the app is

Washington Eats is a free guide to restaurants in Washington State. It is provided as is, for personal use, without charge and without warranties of any kind.

Check before you go

Restaurants open, close, change their hours and change their menus. What a place serves and when it opened are what the place or a named source said when we checked in October 2026. We work to keep the lists right, but we can't promise that any listing is current or complete. Call the restaurant before you make the trip.

Food safety ratings

Ratings in the Food Safety guide are King County's own (Excellent, Good, Okay, Needs to Improve), shown as Public Health – Seattle & King County publishes them in its public-domain inspection data, through 2026-09-25. We don't compute or change them. For the official record, see King County's restaurant safety ratings. King County does not endorse this app.

Other people's content

Ratings, reviews, hours and photos in each place card come from Apple Maps and are Apple's and its providers', under Apple's terms. Restaurant names and trademarks belong to their owners. Washington Eats is not affiliated with any restaurant, team, chain or government agency.
