Green Plus has been licensed as a manufacturing operator in Washington, according to the state license roster updated Aug. 12. The approval adds to a manufacturing sector that currently operates 1,009 active licenses in the state's adult-use market.

The timing coincides with a notable wave of license cancellations: the roster shows at least 12 operators went inactive on the same date, spanning retail, cultivation, and other license types. Closures included The Green Shelf, Point Edmund Retail Holdings LLC, Stickys, Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, Green Lady Hawks Prairie, JPC Holdings, Tru Greenthumb, and DTC Holdings (listed multiple times).

The churn suggests ongoing consolidation or compliance pressures in Washington's mature market, where 482 retail and 973 cultivation licenses remain active. Watch whether Green Plus's entry signals a shift in manufacturing capacity or market repositioning among surviving operators.
