Seattle-area’s second recreational marijuana retail store — Herbal Nation — held a “soft” opening today for invited customers who have been following the store’s progress toward opening (but you could also buy if you just showed up … with an ID). You can see the store and some of the sales in the gallery above.

A stead flow of the usual suspects — a woman in her 60’s, a clean-cut guy who’s thrilled to “finally” buy legally and so on — started showing up around noon and the line remained steady. The crew expected to be open for this “invite-only” event today only until 6 pm.

The store’s official grand opening is Aug. 18.

Previous version of this story:

Call it a pre-rolled … er … a “soft” opening of the second recreational marijuana retail store in the Seattle area.

On Monday, Aug. 11, Herbal Nation will throw open its doors at 19302 Bothell Everett Hwy at high-noon for one day, said Lauren Downes, a spokeswoman for Herbal Nation.

The official grand opening is still Aug. 18, but Downes said in an interview on Sunday that the crew at Herbal Nation wants to give their loyal followers a shot at coming in and buying legal weed while they finish detailing the place. She said they’ve been getting a lot of calls and people dropping by wondering when they’ll be open, so this one-day-pre-opening is for them.

“It’s a special little thank you to everyone tuned into what we’re doing,” she said. (You too are welcome, she added)

They’ll have single gram packets ranging from $24 to $30 and pre-rolled joints starting at $20. She said these are not pre-rolls from shake (or what falls off the buds during processing or selling). Rather, each one is rolled from a gram of ground up flower. Prices for eighths are variable, based on THC content. They also have a full range of paraphernalia.

A little self-conscious about the prices, Downes added that Herbal Nation has set its prices to just cover what their supply costs them … “It’s just expensive,” she said of supply, “and as soon as we can get product in for less we’ll offer it for less.”

There won’t be any edibles or oils on this pre-opening day, but she believes they’ll have some in stock after the official opening on the 18th.

However, edibles and oils have appeared at at least one recreational store in Washington. Top Shelf Cannabis in Bellingham was able to stock their shelves with edibles and oils last week. According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, Top Shelf had “marijuana-infused trail mix, Chex mix and nut clusters rolled in powdered sugar and caramel.”

So, for now, the area stores are Herbal Nation and Top Shelf, plus 2020 Solutions also in Bellingham and Rainier in Tacoma, which was the first to open in that city on Aug. 1.

Of course, there’s also Cannabis City, which was the first to open in Seattle.
