Major League Marijuana has been licensed as a manufacturing operator in Washington, according to the state license roster updated August 12. The approval expands Washington's open manufacturing base to 1,009 operators, per state data.

The licensing occurred the same day the state roster recorded 12 license closures, including retail and cultivation operations. Operators that became inactive included The Green Shelf, Point Edmund Retail Holdings, Sticky's, Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, Green Lady Hawks Prairie, JPC Holdings, Tru Greenthumb, and DTC Holdings (listed multiple times).

While Washington's manufacturing segment remains substantially larger than retail (1,009 vs. 482 open locations), the concurrent wave of closures suggests ongoing consolidation in the state's adult-use market. Watch for any announcements regarding Major League Marijuana's production focus or distribution plans.
