Integrity Labs, LLC has been licensed as a testing lab operator in Washington, according to state license records updated August 12. The approval comes as the state's testing lab count stands at four active facilities, per the most recent license snapshot.

The licensing occurs on a day marked by simultaneous license deactivations across multiple segments: at least ten retail, cultivation, and holding company licenses became inactive, according to the state roster. The timing suggests potential market churn, though no connection between the closures and the new lab's entry is indicated in available records.

Washington's adult-use market currently operates 482 retail locations, 973 cultivation facilities, and 1,009 manufacturing licenses. The lab addition may signal effort to maintain testing capacity amid turnover in other license categories—a dynamic worth monitoring as renewals and compliance patterns unfold in coming months.
