Downtown Seattle, Belltown and Lower Queen Anne have seven licensed dispensaries within walking distance of Pike Place Market, the Pier 66 cruise terminal, the Space Needle and Climate Pledge Arena. Five stay open until 11:45 p.m., and two of them — Lux Pot Shop Belltown and Shawn Kemp’s Cannabis — hold 4.9-star Google ratings, among the highest in the city.
This is where most visitors to Seattle shop. Belltown runs north from Pike Place Market along the waterfront to the Olympic Sculpture Park, and Lower Queen Anne (also called Uptown) surrounds Seattle Center, the Space Needle and Climate Pledge Arena. The Pier 66 cruise terminal on Alaskan Way sits at the foot of Belltown, so cruise passengers can walk to several shops before boarding — though cannabis cannot be taken onto a ship.
