Shawn Kemp's Cannabis
Belltown (Seattle)
This is an in-person event
The first Black-owned pot shop in Seattle opens this weekend, helmed by former Seattle Supersonics power forward and six-time NBA All-Star Shawn Kemp, who's teamed up with Main Street Marijuana co-founders Matt Schoenlein and Ramsey Hamide. Shawn Kemp Cannabis will have its grand opening on Friday at 12:45 pm, where Kemp will cut the ribbon alongside his former teammate Gary Payton (both of whom will refrain from signing autographs for health-related reasons, but they'll stick around until 4 for photo ops). "I want to provide nothing short of the best selection, customer experience and prices in Seattle," Kemp told Cannabis Dispensary Mag. In an industry dominated by white business owners (and for which a disproportionate number of Black people are still paying the price in prisons across the country), hopefully this opening makes way for greater equity in the weed world. If you miss the grand opening, the store will be open all weekend for in-person shopping, and they'll begin curbside pickup service on Monday.
