Darian Martini’s knowledge of industry structure and current Cannabis products is impressive. Her vibe is friendly and warm. She is the friend that you are happy to spend a Saturday afternoon with — doing nothing or going on a serious adventure — and you know smiles and good times are ahead.
She was born and raised in Chehalis, and when she turned 18, she moved to Bellingham. Known for its outdoor activities and bustling metro area, Martini made herself at home there. When asked what she did in Bellingham, she said, “Sold a lot of weed, so, so much weed.”
Martini was a full-time budtender at some of the highest-volume retail locations in town. Through her natural attraction to knowledge, she quickly became a go-to for the latest and greatest product recommendations. Bellingham (and Whatcom County) is a very inclusive place where people respect each other. There is a lot of common ground, and that is why she made it home for over a decade.
About a year and a half ago, Martini made her way back south and settled in Tacoma. The location was perfect, as it’s close enough to spend time with family in Chehalis. She dotes on her family and really values being able to spend more time with them now.
When it came to planting her feet in the southern Puget Sound area and finding a company she could put her heart into, House of Cannabis provided the atmosphere that she was seeking. “It’s a place that feels like home,” she said.
Recently promoted to lead budtender, she emanates this company’s values, as House of Cannabis promotes product knowledge and customer service above all. This location is a very community-based store; the clients all seem like regulars. From edibles to help an elderly gentleman with sleep issues to locals in their 20s looking for some fire, you can tell that this is a local safe place that puts a high value on each interaction and always includes a smile.
When Martini isn’t working at House of Cannabis or spending time with her family, you can find her relaxing at home with her house plants and a western hognose snake, a very beautiful and sometimes mischievous 3 1/2-foot-long serpent named Coilette.
If you find yourself in the southern part of Tacoma, stop by and say “high” to Martini and the team.
