Evergreen Herbal has been licensed as a new manufacturing operator in Washington, according to the state license roster. The licensing event occurred on August 12, marking an addition to Washington's manufacturing sector, which currently lists 1,009 open licenses.

The same reporting date shows 12 closures across Washington's cannabis market, including retail and holding-company licenses. Notable closures include The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, and multiple holdings entities, though the underlying reasons are not specified in the license records.

The net effect of today's licensing activity—one new manufacturer against a backdrop of multiple closures—suggests continued churn in Washington's market. Watch whether Evergreen Herbal's entry reflects consolidation, capacity planning, or broader operator portfolio shifts.
