A small town in southern Washington on Saturday opened the state's first recreational marijuana store that is both owned and operated by the local government, officials said.
Cannabis Corner in North Bonneville, home to about 1,000 people on the Columbia River Gorge, will sell a range of marijuana products, with all profits going back to the local community, city leaders said.
"It's a really great solution for these small rural communities that need to raise a little bit of revenue," said Robyn Legun, general manager of Cannabis Corner. "I think it's a really viable option for other towns and cities like this."
