The flagship store at 9226 34th Ave. NE in Quil Ceda Village aims to attract connoisseurs and tourists with a shopping experience. The store is partnering with affiliated Native American cannabis suppliers.
“Indian Country is poised to become leaders in the emerging cannabis market,” Les Parks, Tulalip Tribes Board of Directors, said in a press release. “Three decades of experience in entertainment and hospitality, and an I-5 location, give Tulalip an advantage. We have built a cannabis retail model that brings the same level of engagement, knowledge, and professionalism that we offer at all our properties.”
