HWY 420 May 2026 — Kitsap County cannabis newsletter cover

Welcome to the May 2026 edition of The Kitsap Chronicle — HWY 420’s monthly community newsletter. Inside: a stacked month of sales (Mother’s Day, Viking Fest, Vendor Day, and Memorial Day weekend), Wyld back at both stores, a Terpene Tuesday deep-dive on the Green Category, Lucas’s staff pick, blog highlights, customer reviews, and a primer on how WA cannabis laws actually get made. Both our Silverdale and Poulsbo locations are stocked and ready — let’s get into it.

From the Team

Happy May, Kitsap County! Spring’s finally settled in, the days are stretching out, and you can feel the whole peninsula waking up. We’ve spent the last few months sharpening the menu, leveling up the staff picks, and getting the new Silverdale building closer to opening day. None of that happens without you — the regulars who keep the conversations going at the counter, the new faces who walked in for the first time this spring, and everyone in between. We’re glad you’re here.

There’s a lot packed into this issue. New arrivals worth your attention, fresh vendor faces, a Terpene Tuesday deep-dive on the green category, and yes — a stacked month of sales we’ll get into on the next page. Whether you’re prepping for Memorial Day weekend, looking for the right Mother’s Day gift, or just chasing that perfect porch-sit strain, flip through and see what fits. Come hang!

How WA Cannabis Laws Get Made

A Light Look at the Process Behind the Plant
1.It starts with a bill. A WA legislator drafts a proposal. Anyone can pitch the idea — industry folks, advocates, or regulars like you.
2.Committee chews on it. The bill heads to committee for debate and amendments. Public hearings happen here — show up and testify.
3.Both chambers vote. The House and Senate each vote. If both pass it, they reconcile and send it to the Governor.
4.Governor signs or vetoes. Sign and it’s law. Veto and the legislature can override with a two-thirds vote.
5.WSLCB writes the rules. The Liquor & Cannabis Board turns the law into real regulations — packaging, advertising, shelf rules, the works.
6.You can weigh in! Public comment periods are open more than you’d think — push back on rules, suggest new products. Your voice counts.

Track a bill at app.leg.wa.gov or check rule-making at lcb.wa.gov. Your voice actually matters here!

We Love Our Community
Leave Us a Google Review

Help Us Grow

Every review is a future regular who just hasn’t found us yet — and your reviews can help us fix that! We’re the shop that geeks out on terpenes, remembers your go-to, and will absolutely spiral into a 20-minute rabbit hole about why that one batch slaps harder than the last. We can’t help it. We’re built this way!

Not sure what to write? Keep it real! Tell them what you grabbed, what your budtender hooked you up with, or that one product you keep coming back for. Honestly? Even a “this place rips” goes a long way — but the more specific you get, the more it shapes what stays on our shelves. Your words keep the good stuff coming. We can’t wait to hear from ya!
