State: Dozens of Wash. marijuana shop applications in jeopardy

SEATTLE (AP) – Washington state is warning dozens of people who applied to run legal marijuana shops that their chance of getting a license is in jeopardy.

The Liquor Control Board on Wednesday began sending letters to 56 businesses around the state, giving them 60 days to schedule an interview with a licensing inspector.

The board says most of those businesses scored lucky numbers in lotteries conducted in April – putting them in a good position to win a coveted marijuana retail license – but they haven’t moved forward with their applications since then.
