Issaquah issued its first permit for a marijuana resource center to the Greenlink Collective this month.

After a six month moratorium, city passed an ordinance that allowed for the marijuana nonprofits and marijuana collective gardens in December. This particular group doesn’t grow the drug, but enables patients to share it and information about how to obtain it.

As a part of the permit process Greenlink will move its location to a spot at 160 N.W. Gilman Blvd. The city has rules about how close it can be to sensitive areas in the community. The gardens and resource centers must be 1,000 feet from schools and 500 feet from daycares and parks.

Before the storefront opens, they have to pass a safety permit, which requires a security system with cameras. Once the location is operational, the city also has rules about the delivery and exchange of the drug. It can’t be visible to the public.
