This practice will be found to violate I502 regulations for recreational mj use as well as RCW 70.160 - smoking in public places or places of employment.

Of course it is a violation of those codes...
BUT: Many businesses are communicating with local law enforcement directly
and the general response has been - Seattle stopped arresting and prosecuting pot smokers in 2003 and moved Marijuana to the "Lowest" offending crime list over 10 years ago

So Seattle has a long history of not caring about Pot Smokers

They aren't smoking - they are vaporizing. smoking it would be illegal indoors in public, just like cigarettes.

Quick Google suggests otherwise...

On 12/16/10, the King County Board of Health passed a regulation restricting the sale and use of electronic smoking devices (e-cigs, vape pens or similar devices) and unapproved nicotine delivery products (nicotine e-juices/e-liquids).

Oh I'm sure there are scads of regulations in place...
But I'm at the Sea/Tac airport almost every week and see people using them all over the place

I think "regulations" and enforcement are wide apart on those vapor things
Nobody seems to care - nobody seems to complain - so nobody does anything

Which is perfect..!!!

DENVER — A Wyoming college student visiting Denver on spring break jumped to his death after eating a marijuana cookie that his friend legally purchased in one of Colorado’s recreational pot shops, authorities said Wednesday.

An autopsy report lists marijuana intoxication as a ‘‘significant contributing factor’’ in the death of 19-year-old Levi Thamba Pongi, a native of the Republic of Congo who fell from a motel balcony on March 11.

It marked the first time the Denver medical examiner’s office has listed a marijuana edible as a contributor to a death, said a spokeswoman.

Investigators believe Pongi and his friends came to Colorado to try marijuana, she said.

Agreed. The first one wasn't that funny to start and has now gone too far, but it was basically one of these moments...

We get it... its a violation
But somebody has to arrest somebody first right..?
in order for the violation to be more than just words on a document somewhere somebody has to get arrested
