Chelan County permanently bans Marijuana Producing and Processing

Chelan County places permanent ban on Marijuana growing and processing due to overwhelming negative impact 

On February 16, 2016, the County Commissioners in Chelan County signed into law an exemplary resolution that permanently bans Marijuana Producing and Marijuana Processing, declaring it a public nuisance and mandating cessation within two years. 

Citing overwhelming negative impacts to individuals, families, property values, businesses, and the local economy, officials created and passed the amendments to "expeditiously preserve the health, safety, or welfare of the public".

After a year long growing season, the Commissioners heard testimony of the negative impacts the residents of Chelan County have had to endure, such as:

• Offensive, penetrating, and unhealthy odor for sustained periods of time exceeding months in duration, seeping into homes, clothing, and cars
• Extensive light pollution
• Increased crime and theft
• Increased noise, traffic 24x7

Chelan County has already experienced what King County is headed for! The people of that county got vocal and stood up for their rights, engaging their commissioners and letting their voice be heard. King County residents MUST do the same! Contact your King County Council member and tell them that you do not want Marijuana Producing or Processing in our rural zones!
