Washington's cannabis manufacturing sector added one new licensee, 5th House Farms, according to the state license roster updated August 12. The entry arrives amid a concurrent wave of license inactivations affecting retail, cultivation, and manufacturing operations across the state.

State records show at least ten operators—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, and multiple DTC Holdings entities—lost active status on the same date. Washington maintains 1,009 open manufacturing licenses overall, per the latest roster snapshot, suggesting net operational churn despite the new approval.

The timing of simultaneous entries and exits is typical of periodic license-roster reconciliation. Next: monitoring whether 5th House Farms becomes operational and whether the broader wave of inactivations signals compliance exits or administrative deduplications.
