Before you publish: Washington and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• 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
• 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 Entiat, that means asking Chelan County and the City of Entiat. Official source
• 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)

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
