More than scores might be high at U.S. Open; pot sales in area are expected to soar

The notion that fescue was going to be the only grass garnering attention in the run-up to the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay has gone up in smoke.KCPQ, the Fox television affiliate serving the Seattle and Tacoma areas, reported on Monday that local marijuana shops expected a substantial boost to their bottom lines during U.S. Open week.

“Pot store owners are expecting a week’s of marijuana sales each day of the tournament,” Tacoma City Council member Marty Campbell said during an April study session on the matter, KCPQ reported.
