STICKYS has lost its active license status in Washington, according to the state license roster update published Aug. 12. The closure appears part of a broader wave: at least 11 other cannabis retailers and producers—including The Green Shelf, Evolve Cannabis, Green Lady Hawks Prairie, and multiple DTC Holdings entities—all show inactive status in the same roster snapshot.

Washington's active retail count stands at 482 locations and cultivation at 973, per the Aug. 12 state snapshot, though the roster data does not specify reasons for individual license inactivations or the timeline of closures. Operators may exit for voluntary reasons, enforcement action, or license non-renewal.

Watch whether regulators publish official closure announcements or enforcement summaries clarifying the driver behind the multi-operator inactivations. That context will help distinguish routine attrition from market-wide or compliance-driven consolidation.
