The Herbal Gardens' license has been marked no longer active in Washington, according to the state license roster updated August 12. The deactivation appears part of a broader wave: at least 11 other cannabis businesses across retail, cultivation, and manufacturing categories—including The Green Shelf, Evolve Cannabis, and Green Lady Hawks Prairie—had licenses similarly marked inactive in the same roster update.

Washington maintains 482 active retail licenses, 973 cultivation licenses, and 1,009 manufacturing licenses as of the update. The cause of The Herbal Gardens' license deactivation is not specified in available records. Whether these simultaneous deactivations reflect voluntary closures, enforcement actions, or routine license expirations requires clarification.

Watch for official statements from Washington's cannabis regulator clarifying whether this wave of deactivations signals a compliance sweep, market consolidation, or seasonal license churn.
