   Does anyone know how authority on passing these kinds of rules go, and if they are enforceable?

   Is there some state/federal law that delegates power over some things to the municipalities/cities/counties etc that allow them passing ordnance like this?

   It feels weird to me that this would not be a state / federal level decision, but maybe that's just my Finnish ass.

      My understanding is that in typical Seattle fashion, this is a new legal requirement with zero funding or staffing to implement and enforce it. If you feel you have been wronged, hire an attorney and sue.

         That's not as good as auditing the books of grocers, but it's better than permitting surveillance pricing.
