Woodway’s small businesses and what their websites need

The Census counted 840 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 98020, which includes Woodway and its surroundings. A few examples from the same count:

• 39 real estate offices: the neighborhoods you know best, agent profiles and a contact form for buyers and sellers.
• 18 CPA firms: services for individuals and businesses, the team and a contact form for new clients.
• 44 full-service restaurants: a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.
• 19 beauty salons: services, the stylists, photos of their work and a way to ask for an appointment.
• 5 gift and souvenir shops: what you carry, store hours and an online store for the same monthly fee.

Across Snohomish County, County Business Patterns counted 20,258 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 57,400 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Snohomish County leans toward specialty trade contractors (2,515 establishments, twice the national share). For them, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks, and the website should show one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form. The county also has a strong cluster of homebuilders and building contractors (1,176 establishments, 1.9 times the national share). Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Woodway typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

Running a website from Woodway: the Washington rules

Some homework before launch:

• Snohomish County and the City of Woodway may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
• 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)
