Washington LCB: Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board

Washington publishes very few press releases (five in 2025) and discloses enforcement through monthly Excel logs and a data portal rather than web notices; the violations page blocks automated readers outright. Recalls are posted on a page under the lab-examiner section. Washington is the one state on this wire that does not use Metrc; its in-house Cannabis Central Reporting System takes weekly submissions.

What Washington LCB publishes

• Press releases
• Cannabis recall notices
• Enforcement bulletins (mostly on GovDelivery)
• Monthly adjudicative-proceedings logs (Excel)
• Rulemaking filings (CR-101, CR-102, CR-103)

Cadence. Recalls two to four a year (two in 2026 so far, both in February). Board meets monthly with a caucus every other Tuesday. Rulemaking filings about monthly; eight open cannabis projects in mid-2026.

What to treat as urgent

• Recalls for pesticides and heavy metals.
• Summary suspensions, which cite discrepancies between physical inventory and CCRS records.
• CR-103 adoptions with an effective date 30 days out.

Quirks worth knowing

• The violations page returns 403 to automated readers.
• Two rulemaking pages with different scopes.
• Enforcement bulletins under /enforcement/bulletins are liquor-only.
