A U.S. judge has upheld Washington’s residency requirement for involvement in the state’s legal cannabis industry — a decision at odds with a federal appeals court ruling concerning a similar requirement in Maine. A man who owns a chain of Washington cannabis stores called Zips, Scott Atkinson, wanted to transfer part of his ownership interest to a longtime friend who lives in Idaho, Todd Brinkmeyer. But Washington requires owners and investors in regulated marijuana businesses to have lived in the state for at least six months. Brinkmeyer sued the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board in 2020, saying the residency requirement was unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle disagreed in a ruling Monday.

A herd of city goats well-known in Portland, Oregon, were temporarily set free Tuesday morning in what appeared to be an act of protest against a planned sweep of a nearby homeless encampment. The fence of the goats' enclosure in north Portland had been cut, allowing them to get out. The Oregonian reported that the co-owner of the Belmont Goats nonprofit, Robin Casey, found a note denouncing the planned sweep that was signed by “some anarchists.” The encampment is near a site where the city is planning to build a tiny home village.
