Horribly overpriced! Staff looks extremely unhappy and bored... never going back. $45+ for ONE gram of oil is ridiculous lol.

Overpriced products, but their biggest fault is they don't manage their online menu. We won't shop here if we don't know what they have in stock!

Store is really nice. The Budtenders looked high and didn’t even greet, I did enjoy how the store looked on the inside.

If you know what you want and don’t have any question *or* you just want to look at pretty budtenders then this place is OK. If you have questions or need intelligent recommendations, then not so much.

Great little spot. Prices on the high end, and the parking situation is down right awful. I've been blocked in once and almost hit twice. But, it is close to home and hasn't gone all corporate. Their budtenders are semi knowledgeable.

I have been going to Buddy's since opened they always have a stocked shelf for Indica lovers like me, most places have mostly hybrids or sativas, also if they are out of grams in what I came in for they still usually have 1/8ths available. I was helped by Simeon last time good show on recommendation

Buddy's is great. Well informed 'tenders. Let's call them Canna-ssieurs. Great selection, very competitive prices. When the outdoor music situation is set up I'll be spending much much more time here.

I like this place but like most places that don't offer a menu there is a lot of needless back and fourth with a bud tender who doesn't really have a strong understanding of the inventory. I kept on asking for sativas and she kept on bringing back hybrids and indicas. My advice to buddy - print a daily menu.

Fly into Seattle, get in my rental, and this is my first stop. I'm slowly making my way around the recreational places, and this was my next stop.
I pull up, and it's in a nice location. I accidentally go in the side that sells the glass. The dude there was cool, and pointed me in the right direction.
I walk to the right door and am greeted by a very nice looking women. She checks my ID, and asks if she can help. Hell yeah, fastest service I've had yet anywhere in Seattle.
I asked for a gram of Bubblicious, and a gram of Green Crack. Bummer, no grams of Green Crack, so she recommends AC/DC. (I'm also slowly working my way through strains!). I agree, and I'm out the door in under 5 minutes. Great price, the Bubblicious is the BOMB...getting ready to light up the AC/DC next.
I'll be back next week, to grab that Green Crack!
(SoCalStoner has been toking up for almost 40 years now...you don't know how happy I am to buy and smoke legally. Come on California voters...get off your asses and legalize this fall!)

I've been here a few times because it's closest to where I live. Their weed selection isn't bad just scattered all over the store. It's very unorganized and hard to figure out. They don't have a menu so you just have to try and look through the cabinets to find out thc % and name of the strain or brand. The staff is either super nice or super rude depending on when you go in. I would not recommend it if you have another option.

This is my go to dispensary, they are the best!

This is a clean, well lit facility with friendly and courteous staff. The budtenders are polite and knowledgable about their product.
Being a medical patient registered in the Washington State mmj database, I was happy to learn that Buddy's, is a medically endorsed facility. In practice however, trying to marry the medical and rec shops into a "one size fits all" superstore is only hurting the people who need cannabis the most.
Washington's recreational dispensaries are ridiculously expensive compared to the State's medical dispensaries which have now been closed. :( Add to that the state's excise tax of 37% and you may find yourself paying twice to 3x as much for the same meds you bought just a month ago.
That said, there are a host of benefits to shopping rec stores, which are strictly regulated, if you've got the coin. Those on a fixed income however may find home grown cannabis as their only viable option.
For those on the rec side, Buddy's is one heck of a fine place to do business. They have extended hours and good folks behind the counter. What more can you ask for?

2 stores in one! Picked up a case for my bubbler for 10 bucks and a nice blown glass jar with a cork stopper to put the tasty top shelf StarCookie in, that I got one door down. They are a rec store with a vision...live art and music to come. I hear Willie Nelson will be showing his line of products there. Welcome to Renton, Buddy's.
