Super Chronic Club Mt Vernon has rebranded under a new licensee name—Forbidden Cannabis Club Mt. Vernon—according to Washington's state license roster. The change was recorded August 12, the same date a wave of retail and holding-company license deactivations appeared across the state.

Washington's adult-use market currently operates 482 open retail locations alongside 973 cultivation and 1,009 manufacturing licenses, per state data current to August 12. The Mt. Vernon name change itself appears routine; without additional context on ownership structure or operational continuity, it suggests a straightforward licensee-name adjustment rather than a transfer of control.

Watch whether the Mt. Vernon location remains active in coming weeks and whether the rebranding correlates with broader market consolidation activity in Washington. The simultaneous deactivations of multiple operators—including DTC Holdings (three separate records), Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, and others—warrant monitoring for patterns in retail exits or compliance actions.
