Millicent has been licensed as a manufacturing operator in Washington, according to the state license roster updated August 12. The approval marks a fresh entry into the manufacturing segment, which currently maintains 1,009 open licenses statewide.

The licensing coincides with an unusual volume of closures logged the same day: at least 12 licenses became inactive, including retailers (The Green Shelf, Stickys), cultivators, and multi-license holders (DTC Holdings appears three times). The roster churn suggests either routine license expirations, surrenders, or a backlog of administrative updates.

Washington's manufacturing base remains substantial relative to the 482 open retail locations and 973 active cultivators. Watch whether Millicent's entry signals sector appetite or simply reflects steady operator turnover in a maturing market.
