The Kushery's license has been deactivated in Washington, according to the state license roster. The closure appears part of a broader wave: at least 11 other retail and holding entities—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, and Evolve Cannabis—all lost active status on the same date.

Washington's retail market remains substantial, with 482 open retail licenses and roughly 1,980 other active cultivation, manufacturing, and testing licenses as of Aug. 12. The simultaneous deactivations suggest possible batch license processing or compliance action rather than isolated business failures, though no further detail is available from the state roster.

Watch for clarification on whether these closures reflect voluntary surrenders, non-renewal, or regulatory enforcement—details the state roster does not disclose.
