Anyone “engaging in business activities” within Seattle is required to obtain a Seattle business license whether or not a place of business is maintained within the city limits. Licensed businesses are sent either an annual or quarter business license tax return. You must file your return even if no tax is due. See definition of “Engaging in business” at Seattle Municipal Code 5.30.030.
