Feel Budder has been licensed as a manufacturing operator in Washington, according to the state license roster updated August 12. The approval adds to Washington's active manufacturing base, which stands at 1,009 open licenses as of that date.

The licensing event coincides with a wave of operator exits: the roster recorded 12 license closures the same day, spanning retail and multi-license holding companies including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, and DTC Holdings. The pattern suggests ongoing churn in the state's licensed market.

With 482 retail locations and 973 cultivation licenses also active, Washington maintains a substantial licensed footprint. Watch whether Feel Budder's entry signals capacity expansion in the manufacturing segment or reflects replacement of exiting operators.
