What is Washington's per-capita permit rate?

Washington has 52.8 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 4th 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 534 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 April 2025, public U.S. government data, reformatted without alteration.

Sources: TTB FOIA List of Permittees (April 2025) · U.S. Census Bureau Vintage-2023 population estimates for per-capita rates (Verify with the Census Bureau →). Reformatted without alteration; confirm any record against the official TTB list.
