EveryBlock is available in Seattle now and it is perfect for sifting through online records by local street address. For instance, I was able to easily look up our favorite grocery store, PCC Natural Markets in Fremont. From the EveryBlock detail page I bounced over to a list of recent inspections and I could see that PCC has a clean record over the past year. I could also choose to subscribe to a feed for the store’s street address and get notified when subsequent inspections are filed.
If you’d like to learn more about EveryBlock there’s a profile of the founder, Adrian Holovaty, in the Chicago Tribune.
