Thurston County Restaurants Under Fire | Seattle News

Thurston County’s latest food inspections uncovered alarming violations at multiple restaurants — some with scores so high they’re putting public health at risk. Terrace on the Green stored raw meats above ready-to-eat foods and had meats on cooler floors. Rivera’s Market Meat & Seafood racked up 60 red points for poor handwashing and improper cooling. Lemon Grass Restaurant and Lounge hit a staggering 110 red points, with failures in managerial control, handwashing, and holding food at unsafe temperatures. Nineveh also failed, with chicken wings cooling on tables and hot foods not reaching proper temps. These aren’t minor mistakes — they’re serious lapses in food safety basics that endanger diners. Businesses can be shut down if violations exceed 100 points or if there’s an immediate health hazard, and must prove fixes before reopening. While places like Eagan’s Westside Drive In and Oly Roots passed without a single violation, others urgently need to prioritize safety — because your meal shouldn’t come with a health risk.
