Kratom in Seattle, Washington.

Kratom remains legal to buy, sell, possess, and use in Seattle and statewide, and it is not listed as a controlled substance under Washington’s Uniform Controlled Substances Act. State bills to create licensing, labeling, and a 21+ age gate (e.g., SB 6287, HB 2291, SB 6196) are moving through the legislature but had not yet taken effect, and there is no known Seattle-specific ordinance banning or regulating kratom beyond general business law.

Locally it is typically sold by smoke shops/head shops, herbal or botanical stores, some wellness shops, and a subset of convenience stores and gas stations, with many residents also buying from online kratom vendors that ship into Seattle.
