The Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board says a Prosser marijuana store was busted for selling to a minor just over a month after it opened.

The Tri-City Herald reports that the Bake Shop was among seven businesses in Yakima and the Tri-Cities that sold marijuana or alcohol to underage investigative aides working with officers during an October sting.

Seven others did not sell to minors.

Fines or temporary license suspensions can be issued to businesses that fail compliance checks.

The Bake Shop became Benton County's second recreational marijuana retailer when it opened in September.

What does our nation’s capital Washington D.C., Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Colorado have in common? Their economy is rapidly growing due to a huge spark in the use of recreational marijuana. Among the most common, Colorado, there are four other areas where the recreational use of the plant is legal. Since then, four out of the five areas discluding Alaska, fall onto MSN’s top ten best economies in the country.

Billed as a celebration of marijuana legalization in the Pacific Northwest, the second annual Fore Twenty Harvest Tournament at Cougar Canyon Golf Course is expected to draw scores of business owners and employees from the growing cannabis industry for a day of schmoozing on the links.

SEATTLE -- Seattle currently has 17 marijuana grow operations. There are 107 more waiting for approval. If all of them start using Seattle's power grid to light up their plants, it would add more than 100-million kilowatt hours of demand.

That's equal to powering 12,288 single family homes or four buildings the size of the Columbia Center.

It's budding new ideas among growers, now turning to LED.

"You could target the kind of light the plant wants," said David Bajorins.

Bajorins is director of operations for CSA Seattle. They test LED technology and recently expanded as business grows. Part of that growth is horticulture.

New LED options offer specific light for specific plant results.

Staci Hoff, research director for the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, says for the first time the state has data that differentiates drivers who had residual marijuana in their system versus active levels of THC.
