Higher Leaf - Kirkland
9/19/2015
Great location, easy to get to and plenty of parking. Shop is simple, looks like a smoke shop.
The staff was really nice, from the door greater to the budtender. When I asked for something for my migraines, she went online and dos a quick search and suggested a couple items on the menu.
They really do need to update their menus though. Covered in cheap plastic restaurant menu covers and everything ending in .99 makes the place feel like a cheap Denny's.
Star Buds - Kirkland
9/19/2015
I had trouble finding the place to start with so I logged on to Leafly to get their number - none listed. Finally found the place and it looked rather creepy from the outside, especially with the wall of half burnt candles!?!
Once inside I mentioned I was looking for something for headaches, specifically migraines. The guy helping me started putting random packages on the counter and said they would be relaxing. When I asked how they would be different from other strains I read about that are supposed to help he told me all strains are so over bred that they are all basically the same! Meanwhile the other person working at the time was laughing as he listened. When I looked up the strains on Leafly on my cell he told me that those are just people's opinions of they work for headaches and you can't really trust it.
I should also add that I didn't see any of the growers brands that I'm used to seeing at shops. Not sure why or if that means anything.
Overall, save your money and go to a shop where they know the products and are Interested in truly helping their customers.
The Evergreen Market - North Renton
9/13/2015
The location was someone easy to get to, tucked back in Renton. The storefront is really neat with the roll up door and the openness. Inside is really nice, albeit a little dark.
Selection was pretty good, even a handful of choices for high CBD. The budtender I worked with looked and acted a little over medicated and I'm not sure she really grasped what I was looking for.
Overall a nice shop.
Green Life - Bellevue

First off you can't beat this location. It's so close to downtown Bellevue Nd major freeways (405 & 90). They have parking in front and back which is nice. Good selection overall but lacking in many choices for high CBD.
The budtender I worked with was nice and friendly but ultimately steered me in the wrong direction for a new smoker.
They offer a discount card and have good specials which is helpful if you are buying often.
Issaquah Cannabis Company
9/13/2015
I had high hopes (no pun intended) for a cannabis shop in Issaquah. While the selection was okay (lacking in the CBD flowers) and the service was great, the atmosphere is terrible.
First it's at the end of a dead end street and I had to park next to a bunch of service vehicles and duck through the trees to get to the front of the building. Then it's up a flight of stairs and into a dark reception area. Once inside the store looks crowded, hand written signs everywhere and a line of people waiting at the counter.
Compared to Novel Tree and Green Theory in Bellevue this felt like a shady stop.

Great strain to put you in a happy, positive, uplifted mood. It cleared up my migraine in minutes and when I went to a party shortly after I felt outgoing and social.
I've had problems with panic attacks on some strains but this was low key but awesome. No paranoid thoughts which was nice.

I didn't like this one at all. Made my heart race and felt very anxious. The budtender said it would help with sleep - not sure what she was thinking.
The Novel Tree - Bellevue
9/5/2015
I was a bit nervous to go to a cannabis shop on my own until after I visited The Novel Tree. I wanted to purchase a vaporizer and called around to a few shops to figure out what I wanted before I headed in. I spoke with Alley on the phone and she spent a lot of time explaining the options with me until I was comfortable with my choice (Pax 2).
Visiting the shop was more like going to a boutique. The decor was on trend and didn't feel like a "pot shop". Their selection of high CBD strains is the best in the area and the staff are knowledgable (more so than other shops I've visited).
I highly recommend this place!
