Lidz Spokane South has lost its active license status in Washington, according to the state license roster. The closure appears part of a broader wave: a batch update on Aug. 12 simultaneously deactivated licenses for The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, Green Lady Hawks Prairie, Tru Greenthumb, Fillabong, and several holding companies, among others.

Washington's retail market remains relatively stable, with 482 open retail locations as of the roster snapshot. No reason for the deactivations is specified in the state record. The simultaneous timing of multiple license removals suggests a coordinated state audit or renewal cycle rather than isolated operational failures.

Watch for follow-up filings or regulator statements clarifying whether these closures reflect voluntary surrenders, compliance violations, or routine licensing adjustments.
