Etta's Herbals licensed as manufacturing operator in Washington
New manufacturer arrives as state license roster logs 12 operator closures on same date.
FILE — retail · My 420 Tours / CC BY-SA 4.0Washington's cannabis license roster recorded Etta's Herbals as a newly licensed manufacturing operator on August 12, according to state records. The move marks a fresh entry into a manufacturing segment that currently operates 1,009 licensed facilities across the state.
The opening coincides with a wave of license deactivations. On the same date, state records show 12 operators—including Fillabong (listed twice), DTC Holdings (three entries), and nine others—had their licenses marked inactive. The net effect on total manufacturing capacity remains unclear without clarity on whether the closures reflect consolidation, regulatory actions, or natural business transitions.
Washington maintains 482 retail and 973 cultivation licenses alongside the manufacturing base. With no pending applications listed and flat closure activity elsewhere, the Etta's Herbals entry suggests continued operator churn. Watch whether new manufacturer licensing accelerates or whether the 12 deactivations signal tightening compliance in the state's supply chain.
