KUSH21's Everett, Washington location has been removed from the state license roster as of August 12, according to the state license roster. The deactivation appears part of a broader batch of license removals recorded on the same day across the state, affecting at least 11 other retail and holding entities.

Washington's adult-use market currently operates 482 open retail licenses and 1,009 active manufacturing licenses, per the latest state tally. The cause of KUSH21's deactivation—whether voluntary surrender, non-renewal, or regulatory action—is not specified in state records.

Watch for any statement from the company or regulator clarifying whether this reflects market consolidation, operational challenges in the Everett market, or routine license turnover in an established retail field.
