Washington's cannabis license roster recorded Riverside Green Farm as a newly licensed manufacturing operator on August 12, according to state records. The addition comes as the state maintains 1,009 active manufacturing licenses overall.

The same day saw at least 12 operators lose active license status, including retail and holding entities such as The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis, and multiple DTC Holdings licenses. The timing suggests routine license turnover rather than a coordinated enforcement action, though the volume of simultaneous closures warrants monitoring.

Watch whether Riverside Green Farm's entry represents genuine net growth in Washington manufacturing capacity or reflects the churn typical of a mature market cycling operators. State data shows 482 active retailers and 973 cultivation licenses, providing context for manufacturing's role in the supply chain.
