Uncle Ike's - Central District

I cannot express how professionally empathetic and helpful the staff at Uncle Ike's Central District store is; but, I will try Especially, now that they are medical . I live with a form of Ehlers-danlos syndrome and its usual comorbid conditions ( MCAS, POTS, GI dysmotility) and am still learning about various strains that work for acute and chronic pain(s) , chronic nausea, fatigue, etc. I am a medical consumer and so appreciate the support and compassion; as well as shared knowledge and wisdom, from staff consistently. Being a fairly new Seattlite, relocating partly for equitable access to medical cannabis, I am just so relieved to find consistent, reliable, equitable , inclusive medical cannabis care . Ray is a phenomenal bud who went above and beyond to help me register and even knew about EDS ( definitely more knowledge than most of my MD specialists 🤭) and Patrick really helped me feel welcome and safe to take my time and ask questions as I am still kind of a plant medicine novice. Thank you, WA , for welcoming my service pup and me from Fl 🫠 and thank you, Uncle Ike's Central for being an amazing medical cannabis resource. I'm a lifer 🤸‍♂️🤸

Back in 2015-2016, Uncle Ike's was unquestionably one of the best weed stores in Seattle. Unfortunately since 2019, they've been outdone by their competition and seem content to coast by on advertising and name recognition alone. Their reputation is definitely not what it used to be. First of all, the prices - Uncle Ike's claims that they have the lowest prices anywhere in Seattle, and this is simply and irrefutably a lie. They have a markup of at least $1.50 on most items. American Mary, Have a Heart, Dockside, Herb's House, the Joint, Ganja Goddess, White Rabbit, Ocean Greens, Green Fire...I could go on, but all of these places have demonstrably cheaper prices than Ike's. They also have better customer service, which brings me to my second point. Uncle Ike's does have a wide menu selection, but unfortunately the staff often has trouble finding these items in the store unless you pre-order ahead of time, and staff members that are not on the security team are usually pretty high (or maybe just slow). More than a few times I've arrived at this location on the weekends to find a line way out in the parking lot, all because the staff loves to take their time chatting with customers. The parking lot is regularly littered with trash, and half the time I come here it seems like the bouncers are spending their time yelling at homeless people instead of checking IDs at the door. They have the biggest security team out of any weed store I've seen, but for what? Do they really need four guys in vests standing around the store at all times? Because from what I have seen, it seems like some of them get bored standing around, and take their frustration out on others. And all of this before even bringing up the owner of this chain, Ian Eisenberg, who has a deservedly slimy reputation in the Central District. Please, consider giving another marijuana business your money. Have a Heart and Herb's House in particular are just so much better than Uncle Ike's in pretty much every way I can think of, save for a smaller menu selection.

Secure & Clean! With a very knowledgeable staff and a secure, (literally) clean, and enjoyable atmosphere I will continue to make the drive from my home in Lynnwood. They have buds that are crystally frosty and just absolutely delicious! They also have a REALLY good selection of Dabs, Dab cartridges and Distilatte tankers! Being a girl who loves her dabs.... that may be my favorite part! I always find something fun in the edible department and I LOVE LOVE LOVE their daily deals!!!! Uncle Ike's has my heart!!!

$12 for a battery and an additional $5 for the charger. Every other store I've gone to includes the charger with the battery. Ike's has some good stuff, but the pricing is ridiculous.
