OORI has been licensed as a manufacturing operator in Washington, according to the state license roster updated August 12. The approval adds to Washington's existing base of 1,009 open manufacturing licenses.

The timing coincides with 12 license closures recorded the same day across retail and holding entities—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, Green Lady Hawks Prairie, JPC Holdings, Tru Greenthumb, and DTC Holdings (multiple entries). The churn suggests ongoing operator consolidation or compliance attrition in the state.

Washington maintains 482 active retail and 973 cultivation licenses. Watch whether OORI's entry reflects broader supply-chain rebalancing or independent capacity expansion amid the simultaneous exit of established operators.
