Unpermitted raspados cart in Burien shut down Wednesday by Public Health Seattle King County

Public Health – Seattle & King County officials shut down a mobile raspados cart on April 30, 2025, due to multiple food safety violations. The vendor operated without a valid permit near Evergreen High School and did not utilize an approved commissary kitchen for food preparation and cleaning. Additionally, the cart's operating plans had not been reviewed or approved, violating local health regulations. The closure was enacted at noon and will persist until the vendor rectifies all issues and secures approval to resume operations. Public Health emphasizes the importance of compliance with food safety regulations to protect public health.
