Lucky Devil Farms has been licensed as a manufacturing operator in Washington, according to the state license roster. The approval comes as Washington's cannabis market maintains 1,009 active manufacturing licenses overall, per current state data.

The new license issuance arrives alongside a notable cohort of closures: at least 12 operator licenses—including retail, cultivation, and other license types—were deactivated on the same date, among them The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, and several DTC Holdings entities. The pattern suggests active turnover in the state's adult-use market.

Watch whether Lucky Devil Farms becomes operational soon and how the recent closure tally compares to historical monthly churn rates in Washington's cannabis sector.
