Well what a difference a month makes. I joined this coop a month ago. I was immediately very impressed my first few visits. They retail location on hwy 99 in Shoreline and the process was cool and easy. Casey is a sweetheart. She makes you feel welcome and her husband knows his stuff and cares.
They had jars of at least 20 strains and even vapor setup to relax you if waiting.
Then my visit this week I could not believe I was at the same place.
Upon arriving I could feel something was not alright. The wife was not there and the place had a strange buzz to it. Upon going in back all the jars of bud to look at and smell were no more. The clerk said they had a new direction or something to that effect and no longer are displaying product.
Next I noticed only 5 strains for sell. I went ahead and asked for some product. Instead of the cool chopstick to buds and scale the owner used to do. They had already (and smallish) packaged grams and eights ready to go. Also no longer that warm fuzzy feeling to ask questions and hang around. It seemed they wanted to get you sold and get you out.
I talked to a friend and he said he dropped by and noticed the same. In fact he said his friend was asked for his Med card even though he is a long time customer>>>??? with ID.
My feeling is (and this is only my feeling and not fact) that they either are scared of something or someone. Police? Raid? I don’t know but it was not a great experience now.
I would have rated them an “A” however now I just cant.
There bud is good. No doubt. However another thing is there prices are above the average of other places. Not the highest, but in the upper area.

Have been hearing similar things about this place. I have never been there personally but I have some buddies that said they were required to give their ORIGINAL MMJ recommendation for the green door to keep!?! I asked around to some places I go to and was warned by multiple places that they could be illegally using the original recommendations to grow more product! This is all just stuff I've heard but sounds pretty shady to me and nowadays with all the MMJ legal issues, shadiness usually isn't good and I'm going with my gut and steering clear of here…good luck and good times!!!
