PORT ANGELES –– As recreational marijuana outlets struggle through the state licensing process and an unstable supply of newly legal pot, the city has seen a boom of medical marijuana dispensaries.

Three have opened on First Street this year alone, bringing the total to five.

“There’s a lot of people that need a supply that recreational will never be able to meet,” said JD Janssen, who opened Top Shelf in the former Weisfield Jeweler building at 121 W. First St. in April.
