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.

Buyer beware! We bought a few vape cartridges from them, one just happened to be broken. Tried to return it they declined us and offered to sell us one for 25$. Off of some legal BS that the law prohibits the return of faulty products. So we bought another cartridge from them. Walked out of the store and again it was broken! They offered no solution to mend our frustration besides we can sell you another... Other than losing my trust they were our favorite place to shop.

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!

Went to check out this new store in Kirkland, it was very chic and cozy. The staff was very knowledgeable. The prices were INSANE... $10 for a gram?!?!? Cant wait to go back and try more!

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.

This is the third shop I visited after legalization, and the closest to home for me. The prices are comparable to other shops I’ve been to, quality was generally a bit lower aside from cartridges, relatively high staff turnover. After years of going here and bringing friends when they were in the area, I purchased a cartridge on a Friday night for a weekend trip to the peninsula. I arrive to my destination... it doesn’t work. I tried two batteries, nothing. I called right at opening on Monday, knowing I’d be just outside of the 48 hour return window. They informed me that they would not allow for exchange or refund. I emailed the owner, explaining the situation (the completely unusable product and my weekend without ability to use it, my contacting them as soon as they opened after getting back late Sunday, my being a client since they opened...) and requested a reply within 48 hours. A month later, and I still have no reply. I already went further if I wanted a better experience. Now I will for ANY experiences. Would NOT recommend.

I had trouble finding the place to start with so I logged on to Leafly to get their number - none listed. Finally found the place and it looked rather creepy from the outside, especially with the wall of half burnt candles!?!
Once inside I mentioned I was looking for something for headaches, specifically migraines. The guy helping me started putting random packages on the counter and said they would be relaxing. When I asked how they would be different from other strains I read about that are supposed to help he told me all strains are so over bred that they are all basically the same! Meanwhile the other person working at the time was laughing as he listened. When I looked up the strains on Leafly on my cell he told me that those are just people's opinions of they work for headaches and you can't really trust it.
I should also add that I didn't see any of the growers brands that I'm used to seeing at shops. Not sure why or if that means anything.
Overall, save your money and go to a shop where they know the products and are Interested in truly helping their customers.

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.

Best prices in the state? WRONG, very very wrong. This is just a flat-out lie. Went here and was disappointed by the selection and pricing. The owners are out of touch with the culture or just don't use cannabis. Sad when you can see right through the BS and there's just another greedy I-502 lottery winner behind it.

Stopped by because I was in the area with my fiancé. We were given a warm welcome and were helped with all our needs. The shop itself is amazing. I love the outdoor seating area, it's very trendy. A++

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.

These guys and gals are the REAL DEAL!! I'm talking friendly, professional and knowledgeable! They know their product, they sell it for a great price....what more do you need? I am not someone who typically leaves reviews but ill be damned if they don't deserve it!

Been going here since they opened and have watched the customer service consistently get worse. The store is nice products are good but with all the stores to choose from bad customer service is not worth coming back. After waiting at the door for a unnecessary amout of time we went to use the cash machine and was yelled at because he had not checked our id yet. The people working behind the counter act as though they hate their job and you are an inconvienence by asking them a question.

Smaller shop, a little hard to find. However, they have a great selection of edibles, buds, and concentrates. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I will definitely be coming back again soon!

Small but well stocked. The staff are both friendly and knowledgeable. I'm mostly into concentrates, and they have a great selection to go along w/ all the flowers. I now drive past my old shop to come here. Worth the trip!

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.

I usually don't leave reviews unless the service I received was exceptional. It could be your 1st day and clueless but if you are friendly, helpful and truly concerned about your customer that"s all that matters! At Mary Jane the staff are all that a bag of chips, chocolate cake and ice cream!! The atmosphere is elegant yet invitingly comfortable to all. Just want to thank the staff for always greeting me with a friendly smile and assisting me with exactly what I need!!!!!

The staff are helpful, friendly, and most importantly know their weed. I mentioned that I like the taste of fresher herb and the dude helping me went and found some newer buds for me. Very cool.
The selection is pretty diverse and their suppliers provide excellent quality of products. Creek Side Cannabis has some outstanding buds.

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

I shop around when I move to a new area and after visiting about half of a dozen stores in the area this one by far is the best. They carry "Dynamic Harvest" products too, hands down best of the best.

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.
