Dank's Tacoma's license no longer appears active on Washington's state license roster as of Aug. 12, according to the regulator's records. The closure occurs alongside deactivations for at least eleven other retailers—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, and Green Lady Hawks Prairie—in a single batch update to the state roster.

Washington's retail market remains substantially operational, with 482 active retail licenses still on record as of the update date. The cluster of simultaneous deactivations suggests potential administrative processing or compliance actions, though the state records do not specify closure reasons or timing. The state also maintains 973 active cultivation, 1,009 manufacturing, and 4 lab licenses.

Watch whether additional retailer deactivations surface in coming state roster updates, and whether any of the affected licensees announce remediation or reapplication plans.
