MARYSVILLE — Michael Thorn opened Marysville Tobacco Joes nearly a year ago, but the latest legal developments regarding the status of roll-your-own tobacco, both in Washington state and at the federal level, have seen him shut his doors for the time being, and possibly for good. Thorn closed the doors of Marysville Tobacco Joes at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 30, just days after he believed he’d received a reprieve from House SEE TOBACCO, PAGE 2
