Redmond allows licensed cannabis retailers in limited commercial zones under RMC 21.08 with a 1,000-foot buffer from schools, parks, and child care per RCW 69.50.331. Retailers need a WSLCB license.
Cannabis retail sales in Redmond are regulated under a combination of state law and RMC 21.08 zoning code. Licensed retailers must first obtain a Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) retail cannabis license, which is subject to local zoning review. Redmond requires cannabis retailers to locate in specific commercial zones typically General Commercial, Manufacturing Park, or Overlake Business Park zones, and prohibits them in neighborhood commercial and residential zones. State law under RCW 69.50.331 mandates a 1,000-foot buffer (reducible to 100 feet for certain uses by local ordinance) from: elementary and secondary schools; playgrounds; recreation or community centers; child care centers; public parks; public transit centers; libraries; and any game arcade where admission is not restricted to persons age 21 or older. Redmond generally maintains the full 1,000-foot buffer. Retailers are limited in number by the WSLCB based on county population allocations. Producers and processors (cultivation and manufacturing) are only allowed in Manufacturing Park zones with additional odor control and security requirements. Cannabis cooperatives under RCW 69.51A for medical patients are permitted in limited circumstances.
Operating without a WSLCB license: felony violations under RCW 69.50. Zoning violations: civil penalty up to $500 per day under RMC 1.14 plus potential license denial.
