The Washington State Department of Health has issued enforcement notices regarding several health care facilities. In King County, the Department denied the licensing application for New Era Mental Health PLLC in Lynwood. The applicant contested the decision but later withdrew the request for a hearing, making the denial final on September 30, 2025.

In Snohomish County, Vest Seattle, LLC, operating as Smokey Point Behavioral Hospital, received an agreed order release in November 2025. This allows the facility to return to its regular on-site visit schedule without close monitoring by the Department of Health.

Additionally, a typographical error was identified in the notice of intent for H & L Homecare for Seniors in Lynnwood. The notice has been amended to correct this mistake.

The Department of Health regulates health care providers and facilities to ensure public health and safety in Washington. Legal documents related to these cases are available online, and updates will be provided to the public as necessary.
