WA HB1701

Multiple liquor licensees may operate separate licensed premises within a single facility, and the facility owner may be (but is not required to be) one of the licensees operating at that location

Licensees who own real property may lease space to other licensees, and the Liquor and Cannabis Board cannot deny licensure solely based on such lease arrangements between licensees

The Board may require submission of lease agreements, operating agreements, and contracts between licensees and facility owners to verify each licensee maintains ownership and control of their own premises

Domestic breweries, microbreweries, wineries, distillers, craft distilleries, and manufacturers may operate premises in facilities where retail liquor licensees also operate in separate spaces

Each licensee must operate from their own distinct premises on the facility property, and the arrangement does not authorize privileges beyond what each individual license permits
