The King County Sheriff’s Office tells us that they busted an illegal marijuana shop in White Center on Monday afternoon, Dec. 16, 2019.
Police say that The Smoke Shop, located at 9817 16th Ave SW (map below), was busted for selling pot without a license.
Marijuana and three guns were confiscated by police during the bust.
Police add that The Smoke Shop is licensed only to sell tobacco, vapor products and beer – not legal cannabis.
In March 2018, a similar smoke shop was raided within a few doors down of this version of the Smoke Shop. This Smoke Shop opened nearly immediately thereafter.
So I suppose this was inevitable.
@questionmark yes and now both are closed down and people involved have been arrested . Now if these people would gone the legal route they would not be in trouble . But some people just can’t follow the law . I wonder if any of the product sold was some of the product that have been stolen lately from legal shop’s . Like a few weeks back when star 21 was rob at gun point or the other robbery’s that have happen lately . I also wonder if they where selling the bad vape cartridges or non tested vape cartridges . I also wonder who would shop there knowing they are breaking the law . How many underage sales happened and how many over the legal limit sales happened .
