Letter: Pot in Walla Walla

Dear Editor,
I’m in full agreement with Joyce Anderson’s letter (“Stricter requirements needed for pot processing” / Union-Bulletin / December 26, 2014).
In addition to the 1965 Walla Walla Avenue location (mentioned in her letter), here are two more examples of unacceptable locations for pot retail shops:
927 West Main Street. Tangletown Holdings (Seattle) plans to open in March 2015. This address is in a residential and small business neighborhood. A church is across the street. And The Salvation Army and St. Francis Catholic Church are about three blocks away. Gangs are active in this area.
1390 West Pine Street. Green Leaf Ventures (Walla Walla) applied for this location. Homes are very close, the Department of Corrections offices and a family restaurant are directly across the street, and two family hotels are a couple of blocks away.
12 applications are currently on file with the City Clerk (Kammy Hill at 509-527-4424) to do pot business in Walla Walla. These public documents can be accessed through this web path:

I urge every reader who is interested in the safety and security of our children, families, and businesses to contact the following city officials:
City Council and City Manager (Nabiel Shawa) at 509-527-4522
City Attorney (Tim Donaldson) at 509-522-2843
Development Services Director (Elizabeth Chamberlain) at 509-524-4735. Ask to be notified (by email and hard copy mail) of public hearings for all pot-related locations. And then show up at the hearings.
