Clark County Public Health recently released inspection scores for food service establishments evaluated between February 2 and February 7, 2026. These results are posted on the county’s official restaurant inspection database, where inspection scores range from 0 (ideal) to 448 (most serious violations), and facilities scoring 100 or above are subject to closure.

Under this system, red violations—those posing high risk of foodborne illness—are weighted heavily, and triggering a follow-up inspection with 40 or more red violation points; closure thresholds are 65 red points or a combined total of 100 red plus blue points. Blue violations are lower-risk issues requiring prompt correction.([clark.wa.gov](https://clark.wa.gov/public-health/restaurant-inspection?utm_source=openai))

The published list from The Columbian covers inspection results for the February 2–7 period, but detailed scores and individual establishment names are hosted exclusively through Clark County Public Health’s searchable portal.([]())

To find inspection scores for a specific restaurant or food vendor, visit the county’s restaurant inspection search tool and enter an establishment’s name or partial name. Facilities receive multiple unannounced inspections each year, with frequency depending on complexity—Level‑3 establishments may be inspected three times annually, while Level‑2 establishments receive two routine inspections.([clark.wa.gov](https://clark.wa.gov/public-health/restaurant-inspection?utm_source=openai))

Why this matters: These inspection reports offer vital transparency for diners in Longview, Kelso, and broader Cowlitz County. Access to up-to-date inspection data empowers residents to make informed dining choices and holds food service operators accountable for public health compliance.
