LIDZ Spokane North's license has been deactivated in Washington, according to the state license roster updated Tuesday. The closure appears part of a broader wave: at least 11 other cannabis retail and holding entities—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, and Green Lady Hawks Prairie—had their licenses marked inactive the same day.

Washington currently maintains 482 active retail licenses across the state, per the roster. The simultaneous deactivations suggest either a regulatory batch update, multi-location operator restructuring, or systematic license expirations, though the state roster data provided does not indicate the specific reason for LIDZ or peer closures.

Watch whether subsequent roster updates reveal whether these represent voluntary exits, non-renewals, or enforcement actions—distinctions material to understanding whether the state's retail footprint is contracting or merely consolidating.
