At a guess, I'd say it'd take about 80-100k to push it to the ballot -- to absolutly ensure there are enough signatures.

And on the downside, with this July 2nd deadline, they are missing every major festival in the area (hempfest, Folklife, Bumpbershoot, Seafair, 4th of july fireworks, Cirqe, et cetera). Having the ability to gather signatures at the festivals that take place July through Sept would have been a huge bonus.
I've never heard a logical reason why Hempfest, a Hemp/Cannabis gathering that sees close to half a million people show up each year, can not be moved to the last weekend of June.


That would reduce the cost to run a ballot initiative for any Hemp/Cannabis issue by huge amounts...just don't get it.
