Eight prospective retailers have applied for licenses to sell
recreational marijuana in Kitsap County so far, according to an
early
list of applicants released by the state Liquor Control Board.
Six of the applications are for Bremerton locations. Silverdale and
Poulsbo each have one proposed shop.
Thirteen have applied to produce (grow) marijuana, and 13 have applied to process marijuana. Nearly all the applicants seeking producer licenses also applied for processing licenses, with a couple of exceptions. Producer and processor applications came from all over the county, including Bainbridge Island.
There is still plenty of time for prospective marijuana entrepreneurs to apply for licenses under the new I-502 rules. The 30-day application period opened Nov. 20.
The Liquor Control Board will allow up to 10 retail stores in Kitsap. Competition will be stiff in Bremerton, where only two locations can be approved within city limits.

It should be interesting. I for one do not want any of these business’s located near me. It is still illegal federally and the material that may be produced or processed has been known to attract a violent part of humanity who think it is ok to take what is not theirs. I hope the county commissioners keep the public informed as to where these facilities will be placed and those who live nearby have a say in whether they are allowed to open or not. One plan I read had most of the counties 7 allowed facilities in South Kitsap. I hope the commissioners have more sense than that and they listen to the local voters and taxpayers.
