Family Values

Famed Washington medicine woman Grandma Cat Jeter made this her home for years before her son, House of Cannabis co-owner Kevin Heiderich, took the reins to carry the legacy forward into the burgeoning recreational market, keeping the tribe vibe intact. With the House of Cannabis brand so well-recognized in other parts of the state, adding to the legacy in such a pastoral area gives it more breadth and luster. Anyone who loves this area of Washington understands that there is more to be gained spiritually here beyond any written contract, so he felt the license was undervalued and saw the opportunity to flourish professionally and personally.

Quite Quaint

Whidbey is where a liberal community shares space with a Navy base — a confluence of cultures that offers a rare snapshot of a purely American tapestry. Surprisingly, the acceptance of Cannabis as plant medicine is deeply revered in this enclave, a positive populace that loves great flower. In fact, you’ll find some of the best outdoor offerings here from the likes of High Country Horticulture, Binx Buds and Lazy Bee. There’s a truly Washingtonian feel when you step into this shop, one as indigenous to the terrain as the plant itself.

About Mike Ricker

The first time Ricker smoked weed was at a Santana concert at the age of 12. He then followed in his footsteps as an award-winning radio personality who became notorious for offering a stage for bong toking listeners in 9 different markets over 20 years. In 2016, the Cannabis industry came calling and the rest is history.
