The City of Bremerton has reviewed and forwarded seven license applications for marijuana production to the Liquor Control Board.

The City of Bremerton has reviewed and forwarded seven license applications for marijuana production to the Liquor Control Board.

So far, the city has not reviewed any applications for retail sales.

“The Liquor Control Board has the final say,” said Allison Daniels, a city planner. “They can approve or disapprove the application, but will weigh the city’s recommendation heavily.”

Bremerton, for the most part, has taken a hands-off role when it comes to marijuana.

“We’re not going to go and add any additional regulations into our code,” Daniels said. “If you want to do retail, T-shirts or cannabis, you can, it just comes down to zoning.”

As such, Daniels said that producers and distributors would be limited to industrial areas of the city. The state is also requiring all facilities to be at least 1,000 feet from schools, day cares and parks.
