The first 24 pot store licenses went out from the Washington State Liquor Control Board (LCB) early this morning and we're now learning exactly where those store are. Not every one of those stores will open on Tuesday, July 8, but those that do will be able to open their doors at 8 a.m. Any pot sold to retailers has a 24-hour quarantine for inspection, so the sooner they receive it, the earlier they can open. While we already knew that Cannabis City would be Seattle's first legal pot shop, we've also found out that other stores in the region include Bellevue's Green Theory, Tacoma's Rainier on Pine and Bellingham's 2020 Solutions. In fact, both Tacoma and Bellingham will start out with more pot shops (2) than Seattle (1). Guess they're pacing us...
We'll add more details as they come in but in the meantime, start planning your Tuesday morning line-waiting with the map below.
