The Washington State Liquor Control Board’s weekly update of applications for marijuana-related businesses reveals six new applicants from the Edmonds/Lynnwood/Mountlake Terrace area. In addition to these, two existing producer applicants have altered the terms of their requests.

The state is accepting applications in three categories: producers would grow marijuana in bulk for wholesale distribution; processors would package and/or refine this product into a form suitable for individual sale for wholesale distribution to retail stores; retailers would sell marijuana products directly to consumers.

In addition, producers fall into three sub-categories or “tiers,” depending on the size of the proposed operation. Tier 1 (small producer) is for 2,000 square feet or less of planted area. Tier 2 (medium producer) is 2,001-10,000 square feet, and tier 3 (large producer) is 10,001 to 30,000 square feet. Note that many applicants for producer licenses are also applying for processor licenses, which would allow them to both grow and package/refine marijuana for sale to retailers.

Lynnwood Today previously reported one large (tier 3) producer/processor and two retail applications for Lynnwood, one small (tier 1) producer/processor for Mountlake Terrace, and one retail store for Edmonds.
