POT DISPENSARY FACING HAZY FUTURE

City Refusing to Allow Oly-Dam Market's More Ambitious Plans Due to Lack of Permits

A downtown Olympia medical marijuana clinic had plans for bikini-clad "budtenders," multiple pot vendors, a smoking room and glass-blowing gallery before the city halted work due to a lack of building-related permits.

Those were the plans for Oly-Dam Patients Market at 215 Washington St.  NE, across from the Olympia Transit Center, said Tom Hill, permit and inspection services manager for the city of Olympia.  The design raised alarm at the city and was one reason why the Olympia City Council suddenly adopted a one-year moratorium on new medical marijuana collective gardens on May 7.  On May 22, the city condemned the clinic and banned anyone from entering the building.
