“I bet you a $1,000 that you are not the first customer at Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop when it opens for the first time.”
I wish I had a friend like that, one who had a thousand dollars laying around, one who dared me to stay overnight at the grand opening of Seattle’s 2nd recreational marijuana shop so I could obtain some cannabis the next day. And if I win – I get some weed and a $1,000!
According to Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop Facebook page, rumor has it that this lad in the security cam photo, has one of those ‘friends.’
Not only is he looking to cash in on a $1,000 bet and some weed, he even got a free coffee out of it! One. Lucky. Bastard.

Today is the day that Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop opens in the Central District, Capitol Hill Area, of Seattle. Not only does the cities’ 2nd legal retail cannabis store have a good selection of marijuana from Avitas Agriculture and Monkey Grass Farm for its’ first day of business, but according to the menu on the shop’s website, it’s all high in THC!
Although the variety of strains available is fairly good, it is not known if Uncle Ike’s will be able to keep up with demand so you may want to get their early! It’s all happening on the corner of 23rd and Union in the Central District. Check out their website for more info.
Seattle finally gets its’ 2nd recreational marijuana shop set to open Tuesday, September 30. The store owned by businessman Ian Eisenberg will be located in Central District and next to heavy populated Capitol Hill. The recreational marijuana outlet will be called Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop. Adjacent to the shop on the same lot will be Uncle Ike’s Glass and Goods. This shop will not carry cannabis, but will sell bongs, pipes, vaporizers, rolling papers, grinders, and other paraphernalia.
According to Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop Facebook page, the first and featured growers to grace the shelves of Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop will be Avitas Agriculture and Monkey Grass Farms. The available cannabis strains from Avitas will include: Snoop’s Dream, Cynex, Black ’84, Lemon Kush, & Pineberry. We covered Avitas Agriculture just last week with their fresh cannabis packaging design.
In addition, their will a nice selection of edibles and RIF cartridges from Green Chief and JuJu joints.
The name ‘Little Amsterdam’ was first coined by local site CapitolHillSeattle.com for the area where Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop will do business. This was before the WSLCB published the recreational retail marijuana shop lottery rankings when there were several hopeful entries. Since the published lottery results, only one retail weed shop was given a ranking for a potential license: Mello Times, soon to be located in the area at 1410 24th Ave. With the addition of Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop, the area will now have 2 recreational weed shops. Not exactly a ‘Little Amsterdam,’ but maybe a ‘Tiny Amsterdam?’
The news of Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop opening in Central District is great news for locals who wish to purchase cannabis, especially in the nearby densely populated neighborhood of Capitol Hill. Although, there will be weed connoisseurs coming from all areas around Seattle and outside the city, mainly by car (or how about a group outing via the locally famous Weed Bus?) the immediate areas of Capitol Hill and Central District offer walkable routes. Of course, for residents of Capitol Hill, it would be most convenient to have a recreational cannabis store off of Broadway or Pike & Pine Corridor, the location of Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop will have to do.
According to this site, Ian Eisenberg is a serial entrepreneur. Although his experience expands 15 with founding, developing, and operating technology related adventures, he will be opening the 2nd recreational pot shop in Seattle. This isn’t Mr. Eisenberg’s only venture where the product being sold is considered “natural.” He is also partly responsible for the “all-natural,” zero calorie soda, Zevia.
Check out Mr. Eisenberg’s official website for more about the entrepreneur driven individual.
Speaking of Mr. Eisenberg and his portfolio of success, how about the opening of not just Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop, but the grand opening of Uncle Ike’s Glass and Goods as well? In a building on the same lot, close to the pot shop, will be store which sells marijuana paraphernalia such as pipes, bongs, and vaporizers.
We think this is a brilliant business move! While it’s against WSLCB regulation to openly advertise that you are a recreational marijuana retail store on your storefront, why not advertise on your second store that you are a “glass shop.” Any customers who drive by and stop to purchase pot paraphernalia will be tickled to find out that they can purchase cannabis just next door.
For all of those who are worried about loiters or unwanted activity in or around Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop, you can be rest assured that the Apache 6 Security Team will be employed on an everyday basis. This veteran owned security company is quickly becoming an merging force in the Washington State cannabis industry. The leader of this veteran owned security company just wrote a guest article on our site last week.
The grand opening of Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop comes as a bit of a surprise. We were in touch with Ian Eisenberg before the initial recreational marijuana license lottery rankings were published by the Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB). According to Eisenberg, ‘he wasn’t even close in the rankings’ to receive a potential recreational marijuana license. It looks like Mr. Eisenberg formed a partnership with a lottery winner to fulfill his dream of opening a legal marijuana store.
