It’s one of Washington state’s most iconic skylines. Some say it looks like an indian laying on his back. So today we’re smoking out Mount Si.
Nicole, Yunks and I met at BelMar in Bellevue, before hitting I-90 east. We scouted a couple locations in North Bend in hunt of the perfect view. I wanted open fields with visibility of Mount Si.
It's one of Washington's most popular trails. Atop the rocky ridge is a white lookout tower. A large boulder makes the perfect place to smoke while the sun sets. We're high on life hiking Mount Pilchuck Trail.
Amy, Cam and I trekked this gem on a warm summer day. Before hitting the trail, we met at Safeway. We scored on snacks because Mount Pilchuck Trail is a beast. In the parking lot, Cam realized he forgot his dab rig. I needed one, so purchased a mini piece to fit in my pack.
This weekend’s hike is one of my favorites thus far. It didn’t feel like Washington, but instead a lush, tropical paradise. Large rocks, fallen trees and a mossy waterfall split in two look even better when you’re blazed at Boulder River.
Andrea and I started our hike bright and early. Early arrival meant fewer people and soft light. We loaded our backpacks with swimsuits, hot shorts and sunnies. It’s a relatively easy hike, so no worries about wearing off makeup.
Thank you DOPE Magazine for hosting one helluva DOPE Cup. I loved meeting all the producers, processors, retailers and most importantly, consumers.
The fifth annual DOPE Cup took place Sunday evening behind Dockside Cannabis in SODO. Live music played all night, with performances by Smoov-E, Dub Lounge and headlining act Waka Flocka. Evergreen Extracts gave out free dabs and the industry's favorite host, Kitty Kitty Bang Bang, came out to play.
It’s the final countdown and I’m celebrating with a Western Cultured Christmas! Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, light up your season with craft flower.
Attending an ugly sweater party or have a ganja loving grandpa? Western Cultured flower, wax and pre-rolls make great gifts for family and friends (although I’d be wary giving it to your boss).
Part one of Western Cultured’s winter editorial is here, so bundle up, grab a pre-roll and light up your season. We’re celebrating the holidays i502 style!
Kraken Black Pepper by Western Cultured marks my first time growing the cannabis classic — Girl Scout Cookies. With its rich, peppery aroma, there’s no surprise how this strain got its appropriate name. If you like the Cookies lineage, you’ll want to add this to your lineup.
I know what you’re thinking. Why rename a classic? Well for starters, Kraken Black Pepper is a cross between two classics, Girl Scout Cookies and OG Kush. Additionally, despite the popular genetics, many companies have chosen to rename or cross their GSC strains in order to prevent lawsuits from Girl Scouts of America.
Last night the Western Cultured crew hiked Mount Pilchuck to watch the super moon eclipse. This hike has been on our radar, so what better location to watch an eclipse rise?
Mount Pilchuck is a stunning hike. The geology, pun intended, rocks. Leaves have started to turn orange, adding pops of color to an otherwise green trail. The elevation isn't realized until you come around the last bend and see granite cliffs. Even still, we pushed the envelope and climbed to the furthest peak, unsure if the pit in our stomachs was vertigo or a strong connection to mother nature.
La Push, Wash. is so remote, we went three days without cell reception. This allowed for long talks, late nights, afternoon hikes, sunset surfs and smoking a ton of Western Cultured pre-rolls. When you're off the grid, you get to know people.
We spent our days lounging at Second Beach and Third Beach. Large driftwood warmed by the sun was perfect for naps. When the guys weren't catching waves, they were catching fish, which fed our crew both nights. We built a massive bonfire, danced, watched the stars and felt appreciative for moments like these.
