Kira Cook

In 2014 I moved to Washington and assisted in opening the first cannabis store in unincorporated Kitsap county. HWY420 is a leading provider of medical and retail cannabis in the state of Washington, and as the purchasing and operations manager, I ensure the quality and compliance of the products we offer to our patients and customers. I have a Medical Cannabis Consultant certification from the  WA Department of Health, which allows me to advise and educate them on the benefits and risks of medical cannabis, as well as recommend the best strains and dosages for their needs.

With over nine years of experience in the retail industry, I have developed strong skills in vendor management, negotiation, inventory control, and customer service. I oversee the invoice processing and payment systems, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. I also work with the management team to plan and implement strategies to optimize the purchasing process, reduce costs, and increase sales. I value teamwork, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and I strive to contribute to the growth and success of the organization.
