The Washington State Department of Agriculture's Animal Services licenses cover animal feed, animal health and import, livestock identification and avian health; nothing for kennels or pet businesses. House Bill 2403 (2024), which would have required every kennel operator to have a fire alarm or sprinkler system in each building housing animals and to certify it on the business-license application, had a committee hearing on 23 January 2024 and went no further. Regulation in the Seattle metro is local and comes from three bodies. Public Health – Seattle & King County licenses pet businesses across the county under King County Board of Health Code Title 8, chapter 8.03: a 'commercial kennel' (four or more dogs or cats kept for commercial purposes including board) and a 'pet daycare facility' (four or more dogs left for supervised play) each need an operating permit from the health director, applied for at least 30 days before opening; the director may inspect during business hours and must document findings on an inspection form; the 2026 permit fee is $506 for either category. The Board of Health plans a September 2026 vote on a rewrite that adds staffing and supervision standards and a combined, tiered boarding/daycare permit, for implementation in 2027. The Seattle Animal Shelter licenses individual pets under SMC 9.25.050 and issues no kennel or daycare business license that we could find; Seattle controls where pet daycares and kennels may locate through the Land Use Code. Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) licenses hobby kennels and catteries under KCC 11.04 at $50 a year and, for commercial kennels, defers to the Public Health permit (KCC 11.04.050(B)). These are county and city instruments, not a state regime, and were not joined to facility records.
