SEDRO-WOOLEY, Wash. (AP) — The City of Sedro-Wooley will clarify a new mobile food vending ordinance to ensure that it doesn’t affect ice cream trucks.
The law raises business licenses for mobile food vendors from $35 to $1,000 a year. It is aimed at food vendors like taco trucks. Mayor Mike Anderson reiterated at the city’s regular meeting Tuesday night that the law is meant to “level the playing field” between “brick and mortar” businesses that pay things like city property taxes and mobile food vendors that don’t have those expenses.
Anderson says it was never meant to impact ice cream trucks. The ordinance will now be reconsidered by a planning committee.
