Reply to comment by -QFever- in I’m very fascinated by the geographic diversity of WA alone by Starfox_2020
The Yakima Valley is the perfect territory for hops. Which means its also the perfect territory for growing weed. Yet the local political establishment has prevented any legal pot grows in the valley. It's almost funny watching TPTB, who have been whores for agriculture their whole lives, trying to justify not allowing pot growing.

it diverts water from food crops…maybe thats why?

Neighboring counties with similar fertile ground have welcomed a lot of growers. Pretty sure most weed you'll find in a pot shop in indoor gorwn.

Yeah...it just is kinda amusing that the county celebrates hops.. so you'd think they'd be all about the new market for hops' closest relative -- cannabis -- but no.
Less amusing is the amount of growers they still bust for growing in the lower valley.
As far as indo vs outdoor a lot of operations were ditching indoor in favor of greenhouse and light dep grows because of the cost of electricity versus the plunging price of weed. That may have changed some as the new LED lights have become viable, IDK....
