Before you publish: Washington and federal rules

These are some of the Washington and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Many Washington cities license businesses, and those city licences are added to the state business license as endorsements, each with its own fee and extra processing time. In Everson, that means asking Whatcom County and the City of Everson. Official source
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
• Washington’s state retail sales tax rate is 6.5%, with a local rate added depending on the city or county. Washington State Department of Revenue
• Washington’s My Health My Data Act reaches any legal entity, of any size, that does business in Washington or targets Washington consumers and decides how consumer health data is collected, processed, shared or sold. A website that gathers anything about a visitor’s health – a symptom form, an appointment request for a clinic, a wellness quiz – needs a separate consumer health data privacy policy, consent before collecting, and authorization before selling. Small businesses (fewer than 100,000 consumers, or under 50% of revenue from health data and fewer than 25,000 consumers) had to comply from June 30, 2024. Chapter 19.373 RCW (Chapter 191, Laws of 2023)
• Doing business under a name other than the owner’s full legal name is one of the conditions that requires a Washington state business license, so the trade name is registered together with that license at the Department of Revenue. Official source
