Go Green Enterprises LLC is the first state-licensed professional courier service for the transport of marijuana, having obtained its transport license last month.

In July, Washington state created a new license for marijuana transportation with a law requiring the special licensing within the seed-to-sale tracking system. A representative from the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis board confirmed that Go Green is the first to have obtained the new transport license, though others have secured licenses since then. 

Go Green owner and operator Kevin Lynch says he first heard about the new transport license at a local marijuana association meeting and saw it as a business opportunity. 

“As someone with a diverse business background, I had a kind of blueprint in my head of how both my own experience and connections I’d made in various industries could help me create this company,” Lynch says.

Lynch established the company in May, applied for a license with the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board in July, and was able to make Go Green Washington’s first licensed marijuana transport in October. 

Go Green is a statewide courier service, transporting marijuana products for producers, testing labs, processors, and retail stores. Its services include delivery of packages or assets, transporting wholesale inventory, and regularly scheduled pickups for compliance testing of samples.

The company’s headquarters is located at 114 W. Pacific, although it also has several operational hubs elsewhere in the state. Go Green currently has six employees, including Lynch. 

While he declined to disclose how many vans Go Green has in its fleet, Lynch did say the company is continuing to grow. 

“We are actively pursuing 12 different leads in addition to a small group of current clients,” he says. He adds that the company also will attend industry expos in the Tri-Cities and Yakima this month.

Lynch says the company currently is focused on establishing driving routes, saving costs, and increasing commerce.

“We’d like to be able to transport to more than one retailer on each run,” he says. “I’d also like to see us be able to unload what we have, then fill up with product the client would like us to deliver along our return route. Our goal is to provide opportunities for people to sell their product all over the state, not just locally.”
