All in all, I will say ok. Prices definately are NOT "cheaper" than everywhere as they claim, they are just selling for what they can depending on what they get it for. Their "cheap" weed is also lower quality, along with every other retail pot shop. The producer/processors are responsible for the quality and unlike some of the whining out there, retailers aren't taking anything from producer/processors. A lot of the producing clowns don't know how to run a business so they blame retailers. This place and another, which I've reviewed, have some of the best pricing categories. Things to improve on; selection, menu doesn't work well on website and a bit more product training.

Great quality, I'm just not a fan of the huge line and feeling so rushed. But these guys have some great choices.

This is my all time favorite shop!! You can’t beat their prices! Ask about their $40 zips! I got a top shelf strain and it was great quality wise. The only issue was that it was dry and some of the bids where small. It was an easy fix to rehydrate the marijuana, and after it was rehydrated it was perfect. Beats spending over $200 on the same strain from other places! Best deals ever!! The only complaint I have is a few of the bud tenders have ego issues and have given out false information. Other than those few bad apples the rest of the staff is great!!

It's a nice spot but feels like a sports store inside. The staff was super friendly and there was a lot of people so I was glad they didn't have a wait.

The place is nice. They were all outta the blue dream I came in for but were helpful enough with finding me something else. They have a little glass shop next door but it has a pretty small collection of stuff.

came from out of town, this was my first purchase at a recreational store! the guys were really nice, was looking for a Sativa which they were only stocked with majority indicas, however they told me to stop in tomorrow for some new product that would suit me. so friendly, clean, had security, and was very comfortable in the store, will definitely be back while I'm in town!

Every time I step into this store I leave satisfied with most of my purchases. The staff are polite and sincere with assisting your needs. Wide variety of baller concentrates and top shelf strains for a solid price range. I can't lie, this place makes me want to fuck up some commas every time I make the visit. It's wonderful, keep it up Uncle Ike's!!

Here I am, my first time in Seattle and inside a weed shop buying weed legally!! What an awesome experience and what awesome customer service! Even more importantly what good quality weed. Thank you Uncle Ike's!

Great store with a wide selection of flowers, concentrates, edibles, etc. Can be a little busy at times but everyone has always been nice and helpful the numerous times I've been to their shop.

OMG! I am so impressed with this place! I'm fairly new to edible marijuana, a little more experienced with smoking weed but I have bad asthma and happily made the change to edibles once I moved from scary, repressive Georgia to the Seattle/Tacoma area. Anyway, I had gotten ripped off big time from a pot shop in Tacoma (Highway 7) and had heard lots of great things about Uncle Ike's. Last week I finally made the journey from Tacoma to Uncle Ike's in Seattle. As soon as my friend and I walked in, we were greeted pleasantly by a biiiiiiig black dude who was like a teddy bear. Very friendly guy but he was not afraid to throw a crazy homeless guy out of the store. My friend went off to buy some joints while I timidly made my way to the front counter. The joint (ha ha!) was jumping. I was immediately helped by a sweet young woman named Alexis. She was incredibly friendly and put me at ease immediately. I told her what I wanted and she pulled a lot of edible product off the wall to show me my options. Wow, what an amazing selection and the prices made my jaw drop. Alexis never acted rushed or impatient; she was happy to tell me about her own experiences with various products that she had out on the counter. So many choices, but I was finally sold on a bag of caramel apple "cheweez" from Magic Kitchen. I paid $28 for them which was about fifteen dollars cheaper than other recreational marijuana stores. I'm sorry if people have had bad experiences at Uncle Ike's. I was VERY impressed with Alexis and everyone else there. I will most definitely be returning. The location is right on the Metro bus #2 route and is in a fairly safe neighborhood. I might not go up there at night but during the morning, when my friend and I went, we both felt completely safe, except for the crazy homeless guy who was on the bus with us and got thrown out of Uncle Ike's!

Very professional shop. Easy parking! Polite and friendly security dude checking IDs at the door. Best prices for certain edibles I was shopping for. Saw an interesting new product in the case today ("hi" cannabis ointment....) and picked some up. Always a pleasure shopping here. Impressed and proud of how Washington is rolling out 520 (see what I did there?)

I must say, I'm smitten with the White Center store! I've visited three times now and I'm really pleased. So long as they can keep a solid variety and stock of "inexpensive" (there's always going to be a difference in quality in a $15 1/8th vs a $50 1/8th - always keep in mind, you get what you pay for!) strains - I'll be around a lot! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I like to check the menu before I get there and have a few options prepared in case my first choice is sold out. But even if that back fires, they've always made sure to help me find something similar in my price range. Down to earth folks - easy to chat with. Ample parking! And a liquor store next door! I usually show up around 7-9pm and there's never been a line. I'm always in and out in like 5 minutes. Highly recommended!

By far my favorite dispensary in Seattle. Not only are the prices great, the people that work there are knowledgeable and always ready to help. In particular Jill has always been super helpful and friendly. I would HIGHLY recommend checking them out.

First legal transaction for me at 23rd & Union :) Great space and plenty of flowers on a Monday night. Nice staff. The parking lot is well lit. Don't be afraid to visit the CD. Things have changed in the neighborhood for the better. Glad Uncle Ike moved in.

Love this spot! It can seem a bit rushed, but take your time at the counter! The budtenders are educated and love answering questions! I get my Virginia Company weed here for a great price!

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.

Despite the current construction outside a trip to Unkle Ikes will be worth it. They have a ton of options and great specials. I have never had a bad service experience there. Compared to other places a toker can take their business, Uncle Ikes fees like a convince store.

I work down the street and just came in after bad experience at last store and this place is awesome.

Really good prices

I'm a big fan of Uncle Ike's. I've always had budtenders that were willing to help me pick something new out. I've never felt rushed by the staff, but I suppose the line of people waiting can cause anxiety in others. The selection is great. I usually end up with the cheap buds, but every now and then, it's nice to splurge on some fire. The worst part about going to Uncle Ike's is the construction on 23rd right now (not their fault) but I still stop by a couple times a month. Highly recommended, don't let the haters deter you from good cheap weed!

Great space very open and not the lest bit imposing.
