Cannazen LLC's cannabis license is no longer active in Washington as of Aug. 12, according to the state license roster. The deactivation appears part of a broader wave: at least 11 other operators—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, and JPC Holdings—saw their licenses marked inactive on the same date.

The simultaneous status change across multiple entities suggests a potential batch license review, compliance action, or administrative update by the Washington regulator, though the cause remains unclear from available records. Washington currently reports 482 active retail locations, 973 cultivation licenses, and 1,009 manufacturing licenses in good standing.

Watch for any official statement from Washington's cannabis regulator clarifying whether these deactivations reflect voluntary closures, license non-renewals, or enforcement actions.
