I first started coming here shortly after launch. The selection was sparse at the beginning, but quickly expanded and diversified. I was driving ~25 minutes to buy, and that's now ~15. There is a closer store to me but prices are >50% higher and don't include sales tax. The price listed on the product should be the price out the door, like it is at Mary Jane. Elsewhere that seems more often to be the exception than the rule. But even if sales tax was not factored in, the prices at Mary Jane would still be the best around. They've eeked up a smidge and the happy hour deals are not as good as they were at launch, but things like $5/g or $15/2g were presumably done at a loss to introduce themselves to the area and establish a new clientele. It got me in the door! I expect those type of deals will return as the market evolves. That said, their happy hours are much longer and accessible; their deals are always listed online so you don't have to call or wander in to see. They update their menu daily, often several times per day. Vaping cartridges don't last long for me compared to flower, so I'll wait for those prices to come down, but the prices here got me off the fence to give it a try. I haven't tried any other concentrates yet here. They are toeing the line of the law here; don't come asking for medical advice, that's illegal for i-502 stores. Ask for a CBD strain or whether indica or sativa is better for sleeping. Don't ask "What will cure my insomnia?" They'll check your ID every time, even when they recognize your face and remember your name. Step out the door to answer that phone call? You'll have to show your ID again, that's just them following the law. These little details are reassuring. Thanks Mary Jane! I'm done with the black market, because, sure, I could get it a little cheaper, but I'm no longer taking the chance of being committed to a half ounce of meh of unknown origin. I get to try a little of everything, and I know much more about how, when, and where it was harvested.

Great shop. I come here all the time. I met this one Asian dude named Ruben there though, and we kick it every now and then. I think he lives in this store. He keeps talking about sad pandas, but I've never heard about that strain. Funny dude. Great store.

Very friendly. Even the other costumers! Easy parking even when it's busy. Atm is at point of sale so I don't have to wait in two lines. Deals are competive, loyalty program discounts keep me on budget, and the budtenders seem to know their shit. Recommendations stand true, I'm not getting a bag of mystory weed that sucks. I love these guys. Can't speak on the concentraits I'm a flower nut- They have lots of vape carts, the glass is limited. Tiny shop fuuuuul of flower. <3

This is the closest dispenserary to me. It is a little tricky to find the first time as it's tucked in an industrial area (easy to miss the final turn so go slow). I love this shop for a variety of reasons. I can bring my dog in (they love him), I get knowledgeable staff each time, it's always quick but never rushed, they carry a wide variety of product. What's not to love?

I LOVE Mary Jane in Kirkland! The bud tenders know their stuff. I will admit I can take time figuring out what I want and I like it I've never had anyone rush me while I shop and look at everything. The pricing just went down on most products so that makes it even better!

This store has a great feel, amazing team and wonderful selection of cannabis. If you don't know what to look for hit up Jacob, he is my budtender and now a friend! I added an exclamation point so you know I mean it!

Super knowledgeable staff each of the three times I have been there. Bought a Fairwinds product that is a click dispenser. Towards the end of its use the clicker broke wasting what was left. The prices are high as well but for the private location, the knowledgeable staff and good selection I will be back for sure. Very clean and new establishment.

Great out of the way location,don't like driving in the city to get to the weed store myself so a leisurely drive in a bit of forest is cool. Banners along road helped me find the place. Parking where you can find it so far,it's new, liked the walk into the store, large switchback ramp to a deck with some nice furniture and lit candles gave the store a home feel. Was greeted at the door with a smle, told the man need for grams and has a limited budget and the bud tender help me out by offering me too wonderfully tasting strains as it turned out later so I got some Dutch treat and some snoops dream which turned out to be will cured to my pleasant surprise and we're very flavorful I had to break up the bus with my grinder because they were so frosty with trichomes. all around great experience for the first time shopper that I was. sensitive great experience that I'll be going there again soon and hope to be a loyal customer.

This store has nice variety of strains and some they carry and you don't find it everywhere like Tangie. I read reviews about people being rude n stuff i think all these dispensaries have people working there of all backgrounds so you get individuals with different attitude everywhere not just here. But my experience was positive so far. Too many young people work at these shops with little experience.

A well hidden gem,off the beaten path in Totem Lake. Ample parking. Inviting, friendly, knowledgeable staff. As a new purchaser the guys here made it comfortable. It's like the mom and pop Ganga shop. No big box feel. Make the trip.

I made an account here just to review Mary Jane. By far the best recreational store I've been in as far as prices go. I wish they had a few more of the larger capacity cartridges (e.g. in the Optimum they only had .5G even though the online menu has 1G). The staff was super friendly and helpful and they have a frequent visitor card to help save even more.

This is the fast-food of cannabis on the Eastside. Easy parking, discreet locale. Nothing fancy but they do take care of you. They require you to show ID and they electronically scan it to verify age (I think a young person got in once and they got in trouble so they are super anal about it now) Overall the prices are really good with every once in a while an incredible deal. That said, they do sell "schwag in a bag" every once in a while. Schwag in a bag refers to super dry and crispy bud that has lots of stem and very little flower. This occurs because the growers aren't paying or willing to pay for good trimmers and put their bud into auto-trim machines which makes for very leafy bud. Sucks. Your gram might be half a gram of actual bud and the rest leaf. Vaping is harsh at times. Their website is not updated as well as it should be. A lot of items lately aren't even listed with prices and when they run out of your special bud and you drive over there, as is usual they just raise their hands in the air, and wave em' round like they just don't care. OK that said, they are super nice, incredibly helpful and very economical. I love this place and keep coming back probably more than I should. I just wish the quality was a bit higher but you get what you pay for.
Dispensary response:
Wow Wildstar this was quite a review, good and bad, I appreciate your honesty. You do get what you pay for.... I have great quality and some that is lacking a bit. The $8 grams sometime come in a little less then perfect. However the most expensive gram I have is $15. out the door and this is all top shelf products, include the elusive Gabriel. As far as being out of products this is what happens when you are buying a plant, I have hired someone who will be strictly updating the menu so this will no longer be an issue. Come and see me, Sierra the Owner and I will take care of you!

I'm a regular client, visiting 4-5 times a month for more than a year, usually during Friday HHs or lunchtime. Fun to watch the shop grow! Store was always very busy. Especially enjoyed the free coffee! Sales team has always been very friendly and professional, moving thru the line, get them in, get them out. However these last few visits, your sales associate Nia was a fresh new face with a great smile and eagerness to help, without the rush. Keep up the great work! With all the competition out there, I really appreciate the extras: Check-in special is better than any other place I've been! Free espresso cart during Friday HH, great staff I've come to know and recognize, $5 off $30+ during lunch, double point days, and most of all, a great selection.
Dispensary response:
So nice, I love you, thank you for these kind words. Nia is the best we are so lucky to have her, thank you for noticing.

Great experience! Small shop but even in an alley they sell their curb appeal! Fresh cut lilies on a woods bench on the patio outside the door... above and beyond!! The feeling inside the store was light and playful. Not too serious or ego driven about their product. Speaking of which, I stumbled upon this shop because they are one of the few shops in the greater Seattle area that sells cartridges for my particular vape, so their selection is vast! My opinion, check it out! Kinda made my day! And a lil holla to my cute budtender with the dreads... 😉
Dispensary response:
Wow we love you! Thank you for your kind words and attention to detail. Please say Hi to me, Sierra the owner next time you come in!

This cool little boutique is my new favorite dispensary in WA. I'm an OR MM patient, and while visiting my daughter, she introduced me to Mary Jane. The atmosphere is chill - a really great vibe. Simeon helped me, and he was a class-act budtender. The best thing about Mary Jane is their fantastic customer loyalty program. Most dispensaries only reward first time customers. Mary Jane understands the value of customer retention and proves it by rewarding your loyalty. Check it out - you'll be glad you did!

Mary Jane, Thanks for care. It's been awhile since our last dance. Busy at 2pm 3 tend'r 4 guest but I was greeted promptly, and check'd in, wait time 4-5 min. No problem browsed to rack for CBD oil 0.5g/special deal, asked my tend'r for it & he check'd asked another, reply'd in the case top shelf. Checking out Shock.... I'm ready for $55, no...$90 $60 for the oil. Still got 6 prerolls. Should double check $ 1st.

My boyfriend went in. We had never been to Mary Jane before but he was more than impressed and insisted I write a review. He went in specifically looking for Blue Dream and the guy helping him saw it was in stock on their website but was misplaced in the back. The visit took a little while because he had to look for it but because of the inconvenience he gave us a discount. We also purchased some chocolate and peach flavored edibles as well as a joint and we were very impressed. The weed gave us a great high, it was great quality, and it was really great looking. I will say that it was definitely a bit pricey but we got what we paid for.
