Mitch’s Not-So-Subtle Nods: Browsing Uncle Ike’s

Just imagine, you’re walking down the street, seeing the sights, smelling the smells – it’s your usual day in Seattle. You’re passing by the iconic Space Needle, sauntering past Pike Place Market, and there it is: the marquee we’ve all been waiting for: Uncle Ike’s Weed Dispensary. An oasis of (legal) green nestled in the heart of the Emerald City.

Now, I’m not the greatest fan of marijuana. I mean I have friends who partake, but me – I like my head clear. Plus, did you know weed is the number one killer of potato chips? True fact. Look it up. However, I also appreciate good business when I see one, and Uncle Ike’s – well it’s not your average cannabis store.

I mean, what’s the deal with weed dispensaries? They’re half apothecary, half convenience store. You walk in, and someone is explaining the difference between sativa, indica, and hybrid, like they’re picking out a fine wine. ‘This one has a berry smell with earthy undertones’. It’s weed folks!

At Uncle Ike’s, they get it. Here they offer an extensive selection catering to the connoisseurs and the casuals alike in their cannabis dispensary – without the fuss. They take the confusion out of the equation. You don’t need to know your forwards from your backwards to buy from the pot store in Seattle, White Center, or Lake City. I bet even Newman could figure it out!

Uncle Ike’s has a local charm that is unique to Seattle and the surrounding area. The atmosphere is straight out of “Frasier,” without the pompous vibes. And even on Mercer Island, West Seattle, and Seahurst, they’ve got a presence that just fits right in. Peace and love without throwing a bird at the man.

The customer service at Uncle Ike’s, though! They’ve got people who talk to you about marijuana like you’re at a Starbucks ordering a cup of joe. ‘You want a Latte, Venti, or a Grand Daddy Purp?’ They’re remarkably helpful folks, guiding you through the many strains they’ve got on offer. And when it comes to selection, these folks make Baskin Robbins look like child’s play.

Having spent some time in Lake City, I can tell you Uncle Ike’s is just seamlessly part of the landscape. Uncle Ike’s in Lake City is like a… well, a weed shop in Lake city. Words don’t do justice to the harmonious ways this place slots into its locations across Washington.

What’s more is Uncle Ike’s has something for everyone, from your puffing hipster to your retired hippie and everyone in between. No one will ever feel out of place.

Now, I still can’t tell you my CBDs from my THCs, but the folks at Uncle Ike’s can. And from the looks of things, they’re doing a grand job at it. So do yourself a favor; the next time you’re feeling adventurous, stop by Uncle Ike’s. It’s like nothing you’ve seen before – as I’m told.

So, here’s to Uncle Ike’s, taking the guesswork out of the green and changing the game in towns from Seattle to Seahurst. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to make a cereal run – my friends tell me it’s crucial when you visit Uncle Ike’s. Apparently, it’s the “munchies”…whatever that means.
