Lynnwood is restarting the conversation to allow cannabis sales, with several city leaders willing to end an 11-year ban on these legal businesses.
Cannabis stores can be found all along the edges of Lynnwood city limits, including this dispensary along Highway 99, pictured on May 24, 2024.
Cannabis stores already operate on the borders of the city and these councilmembers want to look at potentially bringing Lynnwood in line with surrounding communities. Some argue that there are already enough licensed operators in the area for people who want to buy cannabis. Others cite concerns about increased crime and the costs to address it, as cannabis stores are frequently targeted by robbers who often use stolen vehicles to smash their way inside.
