PORT PARKS PLAN

We've got a new parks plan down here at the Port.

See the plan here:
http://www.portofbellingham.com/index.aspx?NID=429

Many people in our community have come to rely on the Port to provide park areas along Whatcom County's waterfront places.

While some of the properties, such as Squalicum Boathouse, the Bellingham Cruise Terminal, the Post Point Lagoon restoration and the Squalicum Promenade have won national awards, this type of activity has been a more recent addition to Port responsibilities.

To some people it's mission creep, to others it's just government doing the right thing.

This year is the 100th anniversary of the creation of Washington Ports so please go take a look at the links and information on Historylink.org. Check out why our Port exists....I think many of you will be very, very surprised.

  1. Hi Mike;
    I just got word from the Baykeeper on the Dredge and cap into the ASB. and the Cherry point issue.
    I would like to know what are your opinions, and what have you suggested on how these should be handled? Also, with that in mind, What can WE do to help to get the healthiest waterfront and Cherry point possible ?
    Respectfully, Scott
