Authorizing multiple liquor licensees to have licensed premises within a facility owned and leased out by another liquor licensee or person.
Effective date 6/11/2026.
Summary
The law updates Washington’s liquor licensing statutes, requiring each license to be in the applicant’s name, setting inspection and criminal‑history requirements, and defining who may receive a retail license. It also creates a new framework that lets different licensees run their own licensed areas within the same building owned or leased by another licensee, while preserving existing rules on proximity to schools, motor‑sports venues, and temporary licensing.
