Outstanding comment and analysis, really adds to the post. Thank you!

Even in liberal King County, arguably the pot capital of Washington State, political schizophrenia over cannabis is rampant. In the unincorporated areas, which the county government likens to its second largest city in terms of population, pot stores are prohibited in the areas where most residents live. Being unincorporated it is admittedly a diffuse population, but at over 200,000 residents it’s formidable.

So the only white minority urban unincorporated communities, White Center and Skyway–combined population 35,000, now are the locations of 15 retail cannabis licensees and the only unincorporated areas in the county where any stores are open for business

It really is true that all politics are local …
