Restaurant Inspection Ratings in Seattle, WA

For this project, I found data on the King County GIS Open Data website surrounding restaurant inspections. The data originally ranged from January 2006 through February 2021. Since the data was redundant (a restaurant can have several inspections of varying results over the span of 15 years), I decided to filter the data to focus on the year 2020. The goal of this web map is to raise knowledge of restaurant's health inspection ratings in Seattle, WA.

The web map was created using HTML, CSS, QGIS, Mapbox, and the Leaflet library. The basemap was created using Mapbox, and the data was loaded into QGIS to create the tilesets using the QMetaTiles plugin. HTML and Leaflet were then used to make this an webmap with a zoom control and interactive panel. Users can click a box on the panel to load the locations of restaurants around Seattle with the chosen rating. The webpage can be found here.

Thank you to Bo Zhao and Tyler McCrea for teaching the course and creating the lesson plan to make this project possible.

restaurant-inspections's Issues

Peer Review

Hi! I really like the topic that you chose, and I thought that the symbols and colors you chose made the map easy to read. I also like the basemap because it gives the viewer context as to where a restaurant is located. One suggestion I have is to add interactivity. For example, having a pop-up show up with the name of a restaurant when you click on it.

Hi Grace,

I enjoyed looking thru your project and thought you picked a super relevant topic! I think you made a very good decision for the color scheme of the points since they followed standard and typical conventions that we are used to. I think something that would be cool to see is if we could see actual restaurant identifiers or having a base map that incorporates relative names of spaces so that a view can more easily identify the location with good/bad ratings.

Hi Grace,
This project is very well done, but I would consider a few things. Your basemap probably doesn't need to be a toggleable layer, and you are currently unable to view more than one layer of restaurants at once. That being said, the coloring of the layers is very nice and your basemap is both clear and visually appealing!

I think your topic is useful for us especially during the pandemic and I really enjoy how you design your map. But I think it would be better if you add some information to describe the map.

Feedback

I think you used a good basemap for this project, as when I was looking around I saw some of the names of the restaurants they had been rated. I think your point about adding a way to click on each point and get information would benefit this map a lot. Right now the points are kind of ambiguous and it would be nice to know the name of which were rated. I also think that a title or some other form text would help to clue people into what the project is without having to look at the Github page.

It would be better if there is a map that contains both satisfied and unsatisfied.
You need a title!!!!
