House Bill 1698, MAST permits now required for non-retail establishments
On July 27, 2025, House Bill 1698 goes into effect, changing the rules on who needs to get a MAST permit.
Before the updated law, WAC 314-17-015 required MAST permits for anyone who serves, mixes, sells, and supervises the sale of alcohol at a licensed retail location.
As of July 27, 2025 MAST permits will be required for those who perform the tasks listed above at all on-premises, consumption licensed locations. This removes the distinction between “retail” and “non-retail” licensees.
