About this brand Solventless, full-spectrum hashish made in the traditional middle eastern way. Brand Spotlight
At the dawn of legalization in Washington State in 2012… Nick and Shawn didn’t know how life was about to turn upside down.
Colleagues at a gaming company came into the office and learned the business had been dissolved, suits arrived out of the elevator banks straight out of the matrix, and ushered everyone to the exits, file boxes in hand (except for Shawn who cleverly slipped his computer out the fire escape).
Later, Nick invites Shawn for a drink in Seattle’s Ballard district, once a sleepy fisherman’s hamlet abutting the Union Bay canal.
Pondering their next move, Nick, born in Eastern Washington, and 5th-generation Lebanese tells Shawn: “Look, the business right now is hashish and flower joints.”
Serendipitously, state cannabis licenses are still open for 30 days. Had their employer been sold one month later, or a few months earlier, the opportunity to start Sitka may not have been. As it worked out, the universe nudged a pair of friends to heed the call and take a leap into the unknown and embark on a new adventure.
