Folk Life After Party This Friday! Ages 21+

May 20, 2014 By Manic Conrad

When I met with Jessica Mills a couple weeks ago, I could have sworn that she said they were 45 days away from opening the Amsterdam Exchange for the recreational crowd. But it appears to me that it was a flat out lie! If that’s the case, this is one lie I can live with…

For the 2nd Friday in a row, The Amsterdam Exchange will have a party geared towards the recreational marijuana crowd. That’s right! If you are 21 years of age or older, and can prove that at the door, then 10 bucks gets you in. Don’t forget, BYOB (Bring Your Own Bud). This time, it’s the Folk Life After Party featuring live music from BingX and Limblifter and potentially even some live Scottish bands also. Doors open at 9pm and the after party lasts until midnight. So mark your calendar for: Friday, May 23rd.

If you have not checked out The Amsterdam Exchange yet – you must. Just imagine Amsterdam in Seattle. The Have a Heart medical marijuana dispensaries are behind this production. They have always done a pretty good job of bringing the Amsterdam coffeeshop look and feel into their dispensaries.

During parties and recreational events, the upstairs – just like magic – turns into a nightclub. An area is set aside for live music, in front of a mural backdrop of Amsterdam canal houses. There is also a dab bar.

Downstairs, you will find a lounge where you can simply chill and smoke.

Here is your chance Seattle. Almost 2 years ago we legalized marijuana, and now you have a perfect opportunity to hang out, smoke, and listen to some live music! Off of your arse and go! Carpool, catch the bus, find a horse – whatever it takes – just go and live a little!

Get Ready For Amsterdam in Seattle

May 15, 2014 By Manic Conrad

UPDATE: Unfortunately, the Amsterdam Exchange Night Club is now closed. Stay tuned for any marijuana lounges or bars that may open in the future.

We hinted about The Amsterdam Exchange NightClub here, wrote about the Farmers Market here and nightclub here, and just recently, wrote about the combustion party here to celebrate the grand opening. You can say we are just a little bit excited about this project…

And to make everyone’s Thursday that much better, along with the very fine weather, we have updates on The Amsterdam Exchange Famers Market and NightClub. One day before the grand opening party and two days before the official grand opening of the Farmers Market.

First of all, you were introduced to Jessica Mills, the one in charge yesterday. So, today, let’s give a warm welcome to her PR “go to” person, Leah Hatcher. She is one in charge of the social networking and promoting side of things. Leah has informed me that anyone over the age of 21 may attend the Combustion party after 10:30pm. How cool is that?!

With two days until the official opening of The Amsterdam Exchange Farmers Market, we now have some updated photos. These photos were collected within the last week so they are actually further along right now – especially with the opening right around the corner. Without further adieu, for your viewing pleasure:

The Amsterdam Exchange: Themed Farmers Market + Recreational Marijuana Night Club

May 5, 2014 By Manic Conrad

I met with Jessica Mills, at The Amsterdam Exchange off of Lake City Highway. She is the one in charge of preparing The Amsterdam Exchange, for its’ grand opening on the 17th of May. Although Mills has been extremely busy (she has a personal pr assistant) her persona was jubilant and full of joy. But who wouldn’t be in such good spirits, knowing they were about to gift a city with an Amsterdam themed medical marijuana farmers market, and an upcoming night club venue for the recreational marijuana crowd interested in edo CBD and other products?

I have been tracking this unfolding story ever since I learned of this project. Simply because, Amsterdam is one of my favorite places on earth. I visited the eclectic Dutch city for the first time about 10 years ago and was so inspired, I returned multiple times ever since. In fact, I even consider those aged cobblestone streets my second home.

The unassuming 2-story building which houses The Amsterdam Exchange, sits next to a German styled 1-story building. Although not as obvious as its’ German styled counterpart, The dwelling does have hints of German and/or European influence.

The first floor consists of a lounge area for medical marijuana patients to hang out and consume herb and learn product making skills like those on https://www.theju1cebox.com/blogs/news/how-to-make-edibles-from-rosin-chips. Additionally, there is a small space for a few vendors, a full service kitchen, and space for a food buffet to keep guests and hard-working vendors fed.

The second floor will consist of a dab bar, with many CBD vape oil options, and a huge room where the majority of the medical marijuana vendors will set up shop. Mills specifically pointed out the brand new custom made cannabis display cabinets. Interestingly, the cabinets could easily be converted into lounge tables, and the entire room transformed into a night club, specifically for the recreational marijuana crowd (like those who often go to sites like greensociety.io). The room can also be rented out for special events.

But what is making this place magical, is the painter Jewels Hawkins, who prefers to be called Jewelz. Using his abilities, this Seattle based artist is covering the walls with his interpretation of Amsterdam. And doing a damn good job.

Painted stone bridges arching over canals, grace the first floor walls. Abstract accents and colorful ceiling tiles, captures the urban vibe of the Dutch city. According to Jewelz, he had not even begun to apply the details and finishing touches. Really? He could have fooled me.

On the second floor, Jewelz had started painting the famous Amsterdam canal houses on a rich sky blue background. These houses were being composed around existing mirrors, which created a rather interesting composition. As he was applying his craft, I couldn’t help notice the large mood board full of printed references of canal houses, propped up against a cabinet. It was very apparent that Jewelz and Mills put a lot of time and thought into the the creative direction.

The Amsterdam Exchange Farmers Market is scheduled to open on May 17 at 10am, and will be open 7 days a week from 10am-8pm. The farmers market is for medical marijuana patients only and you must bring proper identification.

There will be a pre-opening Combustion Party on the evening of May 16, at 8pm. Expect several musical guests and Dj’s, meds and food. You are encouraged to bring your own glass and rigs to the dab station where you can show it off and fire it up.

The Amsterdam Exchange night club and lounge, for the recreational marijuana crowd, is expected to open in less than a month and a half. We will keep you up to date as the time nears.
