Seattle decides on pot zones

SEATTLE -- Members of the Seattle City Council will discuss new legislation that would limit where marijuana can be grown, processed and sold when state rules go into effect next year.

Washington state voters made marijuana legal when they passed I-502, and the state liquor control board will oversee how the drug is grown and sold.

Seattle is coming up with new zoning for a businesses that are the first of there kind in the country.



Council members will discuss the issue Wednesday, and the Council's Housing, Human Services, Health and Culture Committee will likely vote in favor of the new zoning rules, which will only allow pot businesses in a few pockets around the city.
