In Colorado, they are predicting they will have retail dispensaries open shortly after the new year, I doubt Washington will be far behind if at all.
Like Oregon's Death with Dignity Act, the Supreme Court could still get involved and try to block the State law from being enacted. That one only passed because there were no Federal Laws specifically against it. As there are Federal laws that counter-act the state law, the Courts can easily strike down the state law. I'd have to look it up for sure, but I'm almost positive that there are several precedents set for exactly that.
