“…According to the Washington Lodging Association, there are no universally enforced protocols within the hospitality industry as to smoking marijuana inside the hotels for medical or recreational purposes. 
 Because of this, it is completely up to the hotel owners whether to allow marijuana use in the designated smoking rooms or not…”
With legal recreational pot shops set to open for business at some point in the spring, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes and others have been pushing the state to okay places where marijuana tourists in Seattle can smoke up. (So far to no avail.)
Their fear is that our streets will be crowded with tourists smoking in public and annoying everyone, as well as breaking the law against public “display†of weed. The fine is only $27, but the backlash could be bigger with too many puffers wandering around.
But in a state where it is illegal to smoke anything inside or around public places, things can get tricky for these tourists wanting to exercise their newfound freedom in hotel rooms.
