Pot store applications growing
Washington has received 230 license applications for recreational marijuana stores.

But the proposals for stores are also starting to dot the rest of the state, and Spokane County has nine, half of the allotment the Liquor Control Board has set aside.
Businesses have until Dec. 19 to apply for a license to grow, process or sell recreational marijuana under Initiative 502.
