DTC Holdings' cannabis license is no longer active in Washington, according to the state license roster updated Aug. 12. The closure appears in a broader batch of license deactivations recorded the same day, suggesting a possible regulatory sweep or batch processing of inactive accounts.

At least nine other retail operators—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, and Evolve Cannabis—lost active status simultaneously. Washington's adult-use market remains substantially sized, with 482 open retail locations and 973 active cultivation licenses as of the update, per state data.

The reason for DTC Holdings' deactivation is not specified in the roster. Monitor whether the state publishes surrender, revocation, or non-renewal details, which typically clarify whether closures reflect voluntary exits or regulatory action.
