Uncle Ike's - Central District
10/18/2016
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!
