Cascade Herb Company says it opened on August 20, 2014, among the first legal stores in the state, and its Bellingham shop at 1240 E Maple St is still on our list. Verdex counts 16 licensed shops in the city, with three from the 2020 Solutions group at 1706 Mt Baker Hwy, 2018 Iron St and 4770 Pacific Hwy. Caravan Cannabis Company is on W Bakerview Rd. Whatcom County sits close to British Columbia, which shapes what you can carry away from the shop. Buyers must be 21 with valid photo ID and may buy up to 1 ounce of flower. None of the 16 has a Verdex score yet.

Guide Meridian, Pacific Highway and the border question

Bellingham's addresses cluster on car-oriented roads: Cannazone at 5655 Guide Meridian and Dank Of America at 5309 Guide Meridian, then Pacific Hwy at 4712 and 4770, and W Bakerview Rd at 1317. The Mt Baker Hwy and Iron St shops are the other side of the city.

  • Excise: the state's 37% cannabis excise is added at the register, plus sales tax.
  • Canada: the Canada Border Services Agency says it is illegal to take cannabis across the border in either direction, even between two places where it is legal, and the rule covers CBD-only products. Buy what you will use here and leave the rest.
  • Delivery: not offered; purchases are made at licensed stores.

Look for a medical endorsement on the store licence if you hold a Washington recognition card: endorsed stores can sell qualifying products without the 37% excise to patients. See our Washington buying guide for limits and where you may use cannabis, and the state hub for the wider list.
