M & LEAF's license has been marked inactive on the Washington state cannabis license roster as of Aug. 12, according to the state regulator's public records. The closure appears to be part of a broader single-day deactivation event: at least 11 other retail operations—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, and Green Lady Hawks Prairie—also became inactive on the same date.

Washington currently maintains 482 open retail licenses, per the state's Aug. 12 snapshot. The cause or timing of the batch deactivations has not been disclosed. Watch whether the state regulator issues any public notice clarifying whether these represent voluntary surrenders, compliance failures, or other enforcement actions—and whether the pace of closures accelerates or reflects routine churn in the market.
