Seattle has been part of the cannabis conversation since 2012, when Washington became one of the first states to legalize recreational use. The city took to it quickly.
A Brief History
Washington's Initiative 502 was a big deal, and Seattle leaned right into the change. These days the city has a busy cannabis scene: shops, growers, and a crowd of people who treat it responsibly.
What Makes Seattle Special
The Pacific Northwest weather happens to be great for growing cannabis, and local farmers have put out strains that really feel like the region. Seattle's open-minded streak has also pushed a lot of new products and new ways to consume.
Visiting Seattle Dispensaries
New to town or here for years, you'll find most Seattle shops pretty welcoming. Look for one that takes the time to explain things and can point you toward products that match your experience level.
