Hope to see more posts like this detailing various areas of the country beyond Washington.

We are always happy to share. We are beginning to get info from Oregon and will be tracking what’s going on mostly on the West Coast, pending resources (we do this much with almost nothing).

Have you done these studies for any other states around the country? If so, we’d like your permission to post this and your other studies on NationalMarijuanaInfo.Org. Thank you!

NIMBY citizen action groups (Not-In-My-Back-Yard). These groups have pressured local governments to institute Emergency Moratoriums that block I-502 licensed businesses within the urban jurisdictions. Perhaps this is an indication that local governments are not robustly representative. — a deficit in local democracy.

It may not be “who” is blocking King County’s implementation of I-502, but “what”.
At a minimum, a high population-density area such as King County is expected to have fewer available parcels of land that are appropriate for I-502 businesses (because things are spaced closer together, and there are lots of schools, parks, transit centers, day care operations, etc that remove 1000-foot radius circles from I-502 compliance). King County Government(s) can easily have anticipated this (indeed, Seattle seems to have), and put in place changes to zoning and/or land-use policy that would have eased the I-502 implementation constraints afforded by the geographic quirks of their turf. It does not appear that they have done a good job of doing so …. perhaps that is why stores in Snohomish county are selling so much.

If the voters in King County passed the initiative with high approval, who is blocking the implementation of the people’s voice?
