How and when did your access point start up?
We started as a medical marijuana access point in 2012 and switched over to a recreational/medical hybrid store this past month.
What is the story behind the name of your access point?
My brother Clark and I went back and forth for weeks throwing names around when one day I said, What about just “trees.” That day he came up with a logo and that’s what stuck.
What do you want visitors to know about your Access Point?
We offer patients/customers a unique environment that is focused on friendliness and customer service. I believe that it’s our job to further remove the stigma surrounding cannabis and creating a safe friendly environment helps in doing this. Oh and really cool murals and wall art!
How has the cannabis industry in Washington changed since you have been in the business? Where would you like to see it go?
When I started (Trees) in 2012, Washington State had not legalized marijuana for recreational use yet. We were just a group of farmers and access points. I would love to see some serious tax reform on a state and federal level.
What are the biggest challenges you face in this industry as an access point? Biggest joys?
There are many challenges, but it’s been very rewarding overcoming them and working towards new goals. My biggest joys are seeing how much joy we have brought to our community.
What is the most important thing you hope to accomplish while in the MJ/MMJ community?
I hope to continue to be a front-runner in the removal of the stigma still surrounding this industry.
