Street Vending Is Illegal
Unless You Have A Permit
Street vending is not authorized by the Seattle HEMPFST® event. City enforcement officers will be patrolling the sidewalks around the Seattle HEMPFST® event and will be issuing citations for illegal street vending. It’s cheaper to get our $420 blanket permit!
Vending in public right of way requires a Street Use Permit from the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT). There are several different types of Street Use vending permits: Sidewalk or Plaza Vending, Curb Space Vending (Designated Food-Vehicle Zone or Temporary Curb Space Activity), Stadium and Event Center Vending, Mobile Food Vending, and First Amendment Vending.
