• Cannabis store proposed for Concrete (thenewstribune.com) — An Anacortes cannabis retailer is looking to expand by opening a new shop in Concrete, and town officials are drafting regulations that could make it possible. The proposal hinges on whether Concrete’s council will relax distance rules between cannabis businesses and places like libraries, with supporters arguing the store could bring tax revenue and curb unregulated sales.
