Flying Tiger Farms has been licensed as a manufacturing operator in Washington, according to state license records updated August 12. The addition comes as Washington's adult-use market maintains 1,009 open manufacturing licenses, per the latest state tally.

The same licensing update shows 12 operator closures, including retail and holding entities such as The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, and others. While single-day license changes are common administrative activity, the concentration of closures alongside a new manufacturing entrant suggests continued churn in the operator base.

Watch whether Flying Tiger's entry and the recent closures reflect broader consolidation or shifting production capacity in Washington's mature market.
