Suquamish will enter retail marijuana market this fall

SUQUAMISH — The Suquamish Tribe has signed a marijuana compact with the State of Washington, with the intent of entering the retail marijuana market as early as this fall.

“Our decision to enter into retail operations comes after careful consideration,” Suquamish Chairman Leonard Forsman said in an announcement released by the Tribe’s communications office. “With the passage of I-502, we knew we needed to adapt to the changing environment surrounding our reservation and saw an opportunity to diversify our business operations.”

The retail store will be located on Highway 305 adjacent to Longhouse Texaco and is expected to be operational by November, the communications office reported.
