395 North Cannabis has changed its licensee name to Blowin Smoke, according to Washington's state license roster updated August 12. The rebranding marks a shift in ownership or operational identity for the retail operation.

The name change coincides with elevated closure activity in the state. The same roster update logged at least a dozen inactive licenses, including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, and others—suggesting consolidation or market stress affecting smaller operators. Washington's retail base remains substantial at 482 open locations as of the update.

Watch whether Blowin Smoke's rebranding signals a change in business model or is purely cosmetic. The broader pattern of closures warrants monitoring to see if they reflect broader margin pressure or are isolated exits.
