Northwest Cannabis Solutions Satsop facility

The Northwest Cannabis Solutions Satsop facility is a 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) indoor cannabis growing facility at the Satsop Business Park in Satsop, Washington occupied by Northwest Cannabis Solutions, the largest I-502 legal cannabis grower in the State of Washington.[1][2][3][4] The two-story facility was built in 1980 as part of the canceled Satsop Nuclear Power Plant complex built by WPPSS, also called "Whoops!",[5][6] and was leased from the new owner, Port of Grays Harbor by Northwest Cannabis in October 2016.[7] When the company was preparing to move in, in late 2016–early 2017, three new transformers were installed to furnish 9,000 amps for 2,000 grow lights and a robust HVAC plant.[2] Over six million dollars in improvements were made by the lessee, who executed a five-year lease with options to extend 45 more years.[8]

Northwest Cannabis Solutions had over a million dollars a month in sales in 2016[11] and produced 8,500 kilograms (18,700 lb) of wholesale cannabis in 2017.[3][4][9] Processing occurs at the company's other location in Tumwater (46.948°N 122.943°W / 46.948; -122.943 (Cannex Tumwater facility)), near the Olympia Airport, employing 150 people in 2017.[11][12] The new facility at Satsop was said to employ 60 to 70 more.[8]

The Elma–Satsop area has had at least one other notable cannabis concern, Green Freedom.[13]
