Sedro-Woolley and Anacortes sit on opposite sides of Skagit Valley, one nestled against the Cascade foothills to the east and the other perched on the edge of Fidalgo Island to the west. Both are distinct communities with their own character, their own draw, and their own residents searching for cannabis near Sedro-Woolley and a dispensary near Anacortes. Happy Time Dispensary in Mount Vernon is the store that serves both towns, positioned right between them on College Way with over 888 products from 110 brands and the kind of inventory depth that justifies the drive from either direction.
Sedro-Woolley to Happy Time: 10 to 12 Minutes
Sedro-Woolley sits about eight miles east of Mount Vernon on Highway 20, the main east-west route through Skagit Valley. The drive to our store at 324 E College Way takes roughly 10 to 12 minutes depending on where in Sedro-Woolley you are starting from and traffic conditions.
The route is simple. Head west on Highway 20 (the North Cascades Highway) toward Mount Vernon. As you enter town, connect to College Way heading east. Our store is at 324 E College Way on the right side, with parking directly in front. No side streets, no complicated navigation. If you have driven to Mount Vernon for groceries or errands, you already know the way.
Sedro-Woolley is a gateway town for the North Cascades. People who live there tend to be outdoor-oriented, independent-minded, and practical about how they spend their time and money. A 10-minute drive for access to 888+ cannabis products from 110 brands makes more sense than accepting a limited selection closer to home. Many Sedro-Woolley residents have made Happy Time their regular dispensary for exactly this reason.
Pro tip for Sedro-Woolley shoppers: browse our Mount Vernon menu before you get in the car. Build your cart, submit the order, and your products will be bagged and ready when you arrive. That turns the dispensary stop into a two-minute pickup instead of a browsing session, which is perfect if you are fitting it in between a Costco run and getting home for dinner.
Anacortes to Happy Time: 18 to 22 Minutes
Anacortes is about 17 miles west of Mount Vernon on Highway 20. The drive to our College Way store takes approximately 18 to 22 minutes depending on traffic and whether you are starting from downtown Anacortes or the Highway 20 commercial strip.
The route is equally straightforward. From Anacortes, take Highway 20 east. You will drive through the flat agricultural land that defines the western half of Skagit Valley, past the farmstands and tulip fields that make this stretch of road famous in spring. As you approach Mount Vernon, follow signs toward College Way. Our store at 324 E College Way is on the right side of the road.
Anacortes is a town with a strong identity. It is the launching point for the San Juan Islands ferry, home to a thriving arts community, surrounded by some of the most stunning marine scenery in the Pacific Northwest, and anchored by Deception Pass State Park at the north end of Fidalgo Island. Deception Pass is one of the most visited state parks in Washington, drawing hikers, kayakers, and sightseers to its dramatic bridge and tidal currents year-round.
For Anacortes residents and visitors heading to or from Deception Pass, Happy Time is a natural stop along the way. Highway 20 connects Anacortes to Mount Vernon, and our College Way location is right on that corridor. Pick up some edibles before a beach day at Rosario, or grab a vape pen on the way home from an afternoon at the pass. It is a seamless addition to any Anacortes-to-Mount Vernon trip.
Why Both Towns End Up at Happy Time
The common thread for Sedro-Woolley and Anacortes shoppers is simple: the product selection at Happy Time is broader and deeper than what is typically available in smaller-town dispensaries. With 888+ products across seven categories from 110 brands, we carry the range of flower strains, edible formats, concentrate types, vape options, tinctures, and topicals that let you buy exactly what you want rather than whatever happens to be on the shelf.
Pricing is the other factor. Our daily deals and competitive base prices mean the drive pays for itself in savings. Flower starts at $3 per gram, pre-rolls at $3, edibles at $5. Those are everyday prices, not loss leaders. On top of that, rotating specials regularly put popular products at even lower prices. Customers from both Sedro-Woolley and Anacortes tell us they save enough on a single trip to more than cover the gas.
Cannabis Law for Skagit County Shoppers
Under Washington's I-502 law, any adult 21 or older with valid government-issued photo ID can purchase recreational cannabis.

Possession limits: up to one ounce (28 grams) of flower, seven grams of concentrates, 16 ounces of solid edibles, and 72 ounces of liquid edibles per transaction. All products at Happy Time are tested by state-certified labs and labeled with potency, ingredients, and producer information.
