I love this place! I used to drive all over Tacoma but on my way to the casino thought I would stop in. Now I drive from Tacoma. This is the only place I shop. I have a favorite bud tender but forgot her name. She’s very patient and so helpful. I broke my right hand and had difficulty holding things and lighters. But she fixed me up! And the flower she recommended has become one of my very favorites -Alyze -by Exotiky And love that senior discount.
Ratings and reviews of Commencement Bay Cannabis - Yellow
After leaving Arizona's MMJ program and moved here to the great state of Washington. It took some serious getting used to everything being prepackaged. This dispensary does a fantastic job of displaying their products from Quality or quantity so you get a great idea of what you might be interested in. Another great aspect is their large and roomy dispensing area that even has a fantastic glass display on your way through the line ( F##$@*.: GREAT GLASS PRICES) this also enables them to cater to a very large crowd quickly without the patient/customer feeling rushed. So far they carry everything ive come to love in WA @ the prices are better than anywhere. amazing 20$grams of concentrate.
I am sold on this store, It is nicer, the people are friendly, this is the first place, I have had the group engage in conversation with me, the place is the Taj Mahal of Tacoma dispensaries. I am a medical grower. I know my marijuana. I will tell you the prices they have on the flower here, you cannot beat it. Honu (Good Pot) Animal Cookies is all around excellent, I had to choose it as a replacement for the Soltice - Candyland, they discontinued Soltice I guess, it was 35% thc, and it was the best thing I have ever put in a pipe. Anything that is a cross between GDP and Platinum Cookies is bound to be good, but this stuff had a cure on it to rival any I have seen, good clean burn white ash, and terpine level was off the charts. The Honu Animal cookies shares the flavor traits and is less sleepy, so I dig it. Other than that, if you buy a 15$ eighth, stick to Northern Berry, the little extra leaf is okay the quality and purity is there, the Emerald City Organics - Marionberry kush for 20 an 1/8 is decent, flavor is very hashy a little woody Could have a better trim, trichomes are great but leaf is too harsh to leave that much. The Head Cheese is a decent Cheese, but beware, it starts out friendly and will rock your world if you smoke too much, i kind of like the cushion pack style, burns great. Thats all I have for now, Leafly may list WOW as the top shop, but my money is on CB and it will be.
I used to go to greenside recreational in Des Moines which is still pretty good but the atmosphere there feels rushed... and some of the people coming in off the street are little shady in that area... so when I found Commencement Bay while I was in Fife area I could not believe not only do they give me a senior citizen discount... LOL they've got the best prices in town and the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and if you ever get a chance to talk to Sonny he's awesome... I will travel a little further to get quality product from a quality place.
This spot consistently has pretty good weed, shorter lines during lunch time and pretty long ones after 5, All the staff is humble and helpful, love stopping by on my way to work or way home.
I'm a newbie, and was fortunate enough to have Tim help and educate me regarding the benefits of CBD and THC for health benefits. I've been on meds for arthritis and chronic pain for quite a while and have been suffering with side effects. In excited to give this a try! Thank you Tim for taking the time and helping me! I'll be back!
The parking was great as was the location, it's near to everything. The line wasn't super long at the time I went which was during busy afternoon rush hour, I had to wait no more than 15 minutes. The staff was polite and the atmosphere was professional. My one recommendation is they offer menus to patrons waiting in line so they know what they want when they get up to the counter - this will speed things along. I purchased 2 pieces of glass which have proven to be good quality and the prices were more than fair. Commencement Bay had many flowers, concentrates and edibles to choose from. They tend to keep their online menu updated which is a plus. I'll be back to see what other shenanigans I can find!
Don't go here.. they have no rewards system that's worth crap they rush you into buying crap weed. Also they are so overly priced. I can go to clear choice and get same or better for way better price. Please get your shhh together Commencement Bay!
My brother shops here and told me about them i bought some oils from them and one of them leeks and I called them about it and they said to bring it back so i did and when I got there they checked the battery on my vaporizer and then said it was fine if the battery worked its good after i drove from yelm to there and i spent 48 dollars on it and all it did was leek everywhere so i broke it open and put it on something else but what a waist it was and I feel like I got ripped off.
Sorry but I am not very happy I shop here EVERY FRIDAY since they first opened but I was just sold a $20 panacea gold blunt stick and the whole thing is ripped wont even hit which I don't see how that's possible since it came in a glass container, whoever rolled it completely bungled it, it's like a toddler rolled it, it doesn't hit at all the weed in it is f*cked I had to tear the whole thing apart to reroll, AND I BOUGHT THIS AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR SOMEONE HOW EMBARRASSING. Please you guys get your sh*t together with your suppliers else it's going to lose you your longtime customers that have been with you guys since the day you opened... not too happy
I was very direct and to the point when I asked for 4 Indica prerolls.. I specifically asked and was in a hurry so I didn’t really check. (My fault, I know better) but I didn’t get what I asked for. I got two sativa, one hybrid (also sativa heavy) & one indica hybrid. I’m disappointed bc everyone there was so friendly.. be careful if you’re trying to get something specific.
So I figured why not give them a review on their grand opening which was on 4/20, though they have been "soft" opened since February. In that time I have gone here 4 times. My first visit was great, thought they were a little over priced compared to what I am used to but the bud tender was an amazing lady who really knew her stuff. My second visit I swung in to pick up a cartridge for my vape pen. I know what types work on my battery and I told him I needed a cartridge made out of glass. He showed me a brand I had never used before and said it would be fine. Due to the packaging you couldn't see what it was made from and it was plastic; once I tried using it I knew it just wasn't going to work with my battery. I called them and spoke with Will who was apologetic and told me next time I came in they would take care of me. I stopped in about a week later and told the bud tender talking to me what happened and what Will said. They weren't going to honor the taking care of me unless they could get in touch with Will who just happened to have called out that day and I was waiting around while they tried to reach him. That now brings us to their 4/20 "grand opening," I saw the ribbon cutting and everything. Sadly their 4/20 deals were not ready and I had to wait around for them to tell me what they would be once the list was ready, only to be sadly disappointed by really bad deals. I left empty handed and have come to realize this place is all about the flashy decor. They do carry some good products but I can find them for the same price or cheaper elsewhere. Even with their claim of no sales tax.
I’ve quit going anywhere else. This place is 4/4 on recommending a good strain with the criteria I give. All four recommendations have come from four different bud tenders. I am greeted with smiles, service is quick, the prices reasonable and the atmosphere is great. Look for vendor days. I’ve gotten some good deals.
It looked like a bank (in a good way) once inside we were inside it looked like a bank (in a bad way). They put you in a line across the room of their menu boards that electronically change too quickly to read. Then once it's my turn I have no idea what they had because I didn't get to read a menu. I was irritated and the budtender saved the experience by being knowledgeable and courteous. The Cookie Stomper joint was fantastic!
Sometimes there are long lines but thats ok. Respectful, friendly security. Some of their deals on bud are crazy good. I like that they have their menu up on screens around the room as you wait in the line, as well as a printed version of their menu in binders so I can browse while I wait :)
Been to over 150 medical/recreational stores form Portland to Bellingham, over the last 8 years. And this place is one of the nicest, cleanest, places I've been. And the flower selection in great all high quality strains grown right! And the prices are amazing, I never cared about prices because the best fire is worth it but when I bought two eighths of weed snob approved Flowers's for 57$ it blew my mind. Most places that would have been 80-95$ so you take all that into consideration it's one of the top 3 stores in ever been in! Don't sleep on Commencement Bay.. you will leave happy!
I love this place, the people are awesome, uplifting, and fun. Product selection good, sometimes great and price is always best in town.
I gladly make the 20-mile round trip to get good quality weed, for a great price, while receiving some of the best service I’ve ever experienced. Going to other shops just doesn’t compare.
Super convenient, right off of the freeway. I got my Oleum for cheaper than I've ever found it, and some wedding cake flower that was on point! super tasty. The staff even though they JUST opened, seemed t know their stuff. Thanks for the awesome service, I'll definitely be back!
Easy to find next to the casino. Big fancy lodge with a unique vibe. Large selection with good prices. Security was friendly and welcoming. Budtender lacked knowledge but was very friendly. I recommend commencement for their prices and selection.
My favorite shop in the south seattle area. Technically in fife(pierce county) but for me is worth the drive as the prices, selection, and quality are always top notch.
My mom and I (lol) came in today to check it out and LOVED it. The staff was very nice and sooo helpful. No pressure, which is always a worry since I get anxious when I feel like I can't take my time and browse. The guy at the counter (I wish I could remember his name but he was bald if that helps) was very nice and answered all our questions and explained everything in depth. My mom is new to weed and he wasn't annoyed at all of her questions. He gave us a lot of recommendations and we both left as happy customers! I will definitely be back and recommend this place to others!
I went here a couple days ago for the first time. Fife is full of trucks, so it's not super fun to drive there. Regardless, I was able to pick up a daaaaaaank 1/8 of Chocolope for 29 bucks, which was a great deal. The budtender was very helpful and knowledgeable on what products they had, and listened very well to my needs. It was overall a good experience and I walked out with products I am happy with. I will definitely be back!
This place is fire dude, I have gone in here multiple times & have never had a bad expirence & always leaving happy with the product & customer service. Seriously don't let inflation change y'all keep up the quality vibes & product
