In April, Commencement Bay Cannabis celebrated the opening of a second location at 1453 E 30th Street with a celebrity visit by comedy duo Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. The business is part of Puyallup Tribal Cannabis Enterprises, an initiative to create economic development in the cannabis industry. In 2016, the Puyallup Tribe signed a compact with the State of Washington to study, produce, and sell medical marijuana. They have since opened the Medicine Creek Analytics Lab and recently entered in to a partnership with Washington State University at their research and consultation clinic, Qwibil. In June, Sharetea added Tacoma Mall to its list of over 450 store locations in 18 countries. The Taiwan-based café offers traditional black, fruit and pearl milk tea drinks as well as blended ice drinks and signature TorDa pastries with several filling options. Tacoma Mall will also welcome Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya in the coming months. Cactus Southwest Kitchen + Bar is now open at 2506 N Proctor Street. Staff were recruited through a four-day long job fair in early spring. Owners hope to create a ten-month, if not year around, outdoor patio and the location also offers such innovations as a paperless kitchen ticket system to manage guest orders, a side entrance for delivery drivers and draft margaritas. Proceeds from La Bella Nail Spa's June 23rd grand opening were donated to the Blue Mouse Theater. Nearby, locally owned Fresh Rolls will open its sixth location. Cactus, La Bella Nail Spa and Fresh Rolls Proctor locations are all located within the Madison25 mixed-use development. Also coming to the Proctor district is Crudo & Cotto, a second restaurant for owners Giampaolo Falchetti and Kathryn Philbrook. Crudo & Cotto will offer an authentic Italian experience including fresh seafood, an oyster bar, and homemade pasta.
