Local Eateries Face Health Violations

Local Eateries Face Health Violations

Thurston County Public Health just released inspection scores for local eateries — and some are in serious trouble. A mobile food truck on Fourth Ave East racked up 115 red violations, including unsafe food temps, dirty sinks, and bare-hand noodle grabbing. Pho Hoa and Jazen Tea in Lacey also failed with 60 red points, missing trained staff and expired worker cards. Cooper Point Village Mart had 20 red points for warm milk and hot dogs, while Dollar Tree and West Side Food Mart failed to have illness response plans. But not all news is grim — Our Community Kitchen, Kona Ice, and Good Life Health Foods all passed with flying colors. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Can You U-Turn on Left Turn Only?

Can you legally do a U-turn at a “left turn only” sign in Washington? The short answer: usually yes — unless local rules say no. While state law permits U-turns unless explicitly banned, cities like Bremerton, Yakima, and Tacoma have stricter rules. Always check for local signs and prioritize safety. Breaking the rule? You’ll face a $48 base fine — up to $1,200 in Seattle. When in doubt, find a legal spot to turn around — your wallet and safety will thank you.

King County Burn Ban Alert

King County just slapped a Stage 1 burn ban in place—effective now and lasting until further notice—because summer’s bringing dry, hot conditions that spark wildfire risks. Fire crews are teaming up with cities to keep everyone safe. You’re still good to grill or light a small campfire in a proper pit, but NO yard debris or land-clearing burns allowed. Keep fires tiny—under 2x2 feet, watched at all times, with dry wood, 25 feet from buildings, 10 feet around the pit, and never if winds hit 15 mph. Always have water ready to extinguish it fully before you leave. This isn’t just precaution—it’s protection for our communities and wildlands as temps climb.
