Tru Greenthumb's license has been deactivated in Washington, according to the state license roster updated August 12. The closure occurs alongside at least 11 other operator deactivations flagged the same day, including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, and several holdings entities. The scope suggests a coordinated batch of license forfeitures or expiries rather than isolated business failures.

Washington maintains 482 open retail locations, 973 cultivators, and 1,009 manufacturers across its adult-use program, per the August 12 roster snapshot. The cluster deactivations represent a small fraction of active inventory, but their timing warrants monitoring for signals of broader compliance or market pressure. Watch for regulatory announcements clarifying whether these losses stem from renewal lapses, enforcement action, or voluntary surrender.
