Clear Choice Cannabis's license is no longer active in Washington, according to the state license roster updated Aug. 12. The closure appears part of a broader deactivation event: at least ten other retail and holding entities—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, and DTC Holdings—also lost active status on the same date.

Washington maintains 482 open retail licenses across the adult-use market as of the latest roster snapshot. The simultaneous deactivations suggest possible compliance actions, license expirations, or administrative updates rather than isolated business decisions, though the state roster does not disclose closure reasons or status details.

The timing and scale of these simultaneous losses warrant monitoring for regulatory guidance or enforcement patterns. Tracking whether additional license deactivations follow, or whether any entities reactivate or appeal, will clarify whether this represents routine churn or a coordinated action.
