What is Washington's per-capita permit rate?

Washington has 53.0 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 5th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Washington city has the most permit holders?

Seattle leads Washington with 538 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Walla Walla, Woodinville, Spokane.

Are breweries included?

No. Breweries do not hold an FAA Basic Permit, they operate under a Brewer's Notice (IRC §6103, protected from disclosure), so they are not in the public TTB List of Permittees this directory is built from.

Where does this data come from?

The TTB FOIA "List of Permittees," published August 2026, public U.S. government data, reformatted without alteration.

Reading Washington's wholesalers-led permit book

Washington's 4,139 permits are wholesalers-led (1,909, 46% of the book), ranking #5 nationally by count and #5 by per-capita density. Federal Basic Permits authorize FAA Act activity, not retail sale, and are not a substitute for the state ABC license.
