OLYMPIA ¾ The state Department of Health has immediately suspended the license of the Kingdom Inn at 2221 Pacific Highway East in Fife because the motel poses a threat to its guests’ safety. Department investigators discovered the motel has been violating construction, maintenance, electrical, fire and safety codes and operating under unsanitary conditions. The motel may not offer room rentals until a hearing is held.
Conditions in the motel include mold, exposed electrical wiring, non-working smoke detectors, garbage piled inside the rooms and outside the motel and other general unsanitary conditions. The owner of the Kingdom Inn has 20 days to request a hearing and contest the charges.
Motels offering three or more units to guests for less than 30 days must be licensed by the state agency’s Facilities and Services Licensing Program. The program is responsible for licensing about 1,700 motels, hotels, inns, resorts and bed-and-breakfast facilities in the state, and enforces health and safety standards for those establishments.
