Baker as its backdrop, Bellingham is the last major city before the Washington coastline meets the Canadian border. Bellingham is 85 miles north of Seattle and an hour south of Vancouver B.C. Transportation links connect the community to the nearby San Juan Islands and Victoria on Vancouver Island. The downtown area has a mixture of restaurants, art galleries, and specialty shops. Bellingham is home to Western Washington University on Sehome Hill, from which there is a sweeping view across the bay to the San Juan Islands. Visitors bound for Alaska depart on the Alaska Marine Highway System ferries from the Bellingham Cruise Terminal in the Historic Fairhaven District. Bellingham has an active waterfront port that supports fishing, charter cruises, leisure boating, boat building, boat maintenance, shipping, marina operations, and many marine trades busi- nesses. Population in Whatcom County & Bellingham Washington State Office of Financial Management estimates that the total population of Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and San Juan combined is approximately 439,700 as of 2017. With its current population estimated at 216,300, Whatcom County, home to the city of Bellingham, is by far the most populous segment of this counties. Whatcom county has seen a steady population growth of about 2.06% since 2010, which is higher than the corresponding rate for Washington State (1.41%). Whatcom County attracts firms relocating out of the Seattle metropolitan area due to the quality of life found in cities like Bellingham, as well as the much lower cost of housing and living. Bellingham is the economic hub for Whatcom County. The estimated 2017 population for Bellingham is 86,720. Bellingham’s growth levels coincide with the rest of Whatcom county, and its population has represented about 40% of the county population for the past 25 years. Employment in Whatcom County Agricultural jobs have seen a decrease in Whatcom county as the economy shifts to relying on non-agricultural employment and industries. By the end of 2017, non-ag employment totaled 93,100 jobs, a total net gain of 13,200 jobs since 2010. The region surpassed the peak recession level in 2014. The biggest growth occurred between 2016 and 2017 with 3,300 new jobs added. The sectors gaining the most included mining, logging, & construction (+1,000 jobs), other services (+800 jobs), and government (+700 jobs). All of the sectors showed gains except for transportation, warehousing, and utilities, which held steady with no gains. Canada Fact: Bellingham and Whatcom County’s population once relied heavily on Canadian consumerism for economic efficiency. After the effects of September 11, 2001, there was a significant drop in border crossings lead- ing to an economic slump,. With the 2009 re- cession, Canadians saw a movement in the ex- change rate, that has since had them returning over the border to contribute to our economy. Bellingham However, because of the previous economic slump, Bellingham has grown in population and employment, and its economy holds inde- pendent from Canadian consumers. Aerial view of bay and downtown Industrial Market The Whatcom County industrial market totals 7.05 million sq ft among 326 buildings. Again, Bel- lingham has the highest amount of the supply at 3.86 million sq ft, followed by Ferndale at 1.64 million sq ft. Within Bellingham, the highest concentration of industrial buildings is in the areas around the airport, Irongate and Cordata. In Ferndale, the concentration is primarily along the I-5 corridor. Conclusion: population in Bellingham is currently on the rise. Employment picture has improved with 3,000 new jobs over the past year and unemployment down to 5.6%. Retail spending is up 10.3% through the 3rd quarter of 2017. With the recent job growth, the region should continue to do well. Boulevard Park boardwalk About the Port of Bellingham From the Port of Bellingham’s website: “The Port of Bellingham works closely with private enterprise and local and state agencies to facili- tate the retention of existing business and the location of new business to Whatcom County. Like many ports in Washington State, the Port of Bellingham’s activities go far beyond ocean shipping. Its many other activities are dedicated to meeting the broader economic and transportation needs of Whatcom County. Diverse activities, such as the operation of Bellingham International Airport, marine and rail passenger terminals, two marinas, a cargo transportation terminal, and those activities of over 260 different Port commercial property tenants account for more than ten percent of the employment in Whatcom County. The Port of Bellingham has optimal access, whether it’s providing transportation connections, infrastructure or communications. Let the Port be your business partner, working with you to make your development become a reality.” About Western Washington University From their official website: “Western is an energized campus community with nearly 16,000 students and over 160 academic programs.

  • Waterfront Land Acquisition
    Capital Project WATERFRONT Proposal LAND ACQUISITION 2017-2019 Active Minds Changing Lives ACQUISITION 2017-19 Biennium Higher Education Project Proposal Waterfront Land Acquisition Western Washington University Institution Western Washington University Project Title Waterfront Land Acquisition Project Location (City) Bellingham 1. Problem Statement (short description of the project – the needs and the benefits) As the third largest public university in Washington in terms of enrollment and the smallest in terms of campus size, Western Washington University must expand its physical campus in order to continue to meet its responsibility and mission to provide access to quality higher education in the northwest region of the state. Western’s enrollment has grown to 15,332 students (14,194 FTE students) in the 2015-16 academic year, representing a 13% enrollment increase since the 2001-02 academic year and far exceeding the University’s planned enrollment capacity of 12,500 FTE students. Responsible stewardship of Western’s future involves not only planning for future enrollment growth but also consideration of the State’s educational attainment goals, including the Results Washington goal of producing 149,000 postsecondary credentials by 2023. Refer to Appendix B. Given that Western’s main campus is landlocked by neighborhoods and the Sehome Arboretum, it has limited options for expansion. The University’s strategic plan specifies that enrollment growth beyond the 12,500 main campus capacity must consider capital development opportunities for additional capacity. Western has a unique opportunity to acquire 6 acres of redevelopment property on Bellingham’s downtown waterfront through a combination of State investment ($4.5 million) and the sale of existing WWU property.

  • Port of Bellingham Port Commission District 1 Candidates: Dan Robbins, Michael Shepard
    Port of Bellingham Port Commission District 1 Candidates: Dan Robbins, Michael Shepard Why are you running for office? (Dan Robbins) I want to continue the great work that I have accomplished in the last 4 years as your Port Commissioner that includes: Job creation, ongoing development in the Waterfront District, expansion of the marine trades, and more activity at the Shipping Terminal. I feel strongly that now, more than ever, we need continued leadership at the Port that understands that a solid financial footing allows the Port to accomplish great things like preserving marine industry and cleaning up historic contamination. (Michael Shepard) I’m running for the Port because we all know Whatcom County is a great place to live to, but an increasingly hard place to afford. The Port is the only municipality specifically charged with countywide economic development and job creation. We have lots of opportunity and work to do here. My other main reasons for running are wanting to see more progress on the GP Waterfront Redevelopment project and having our Port take regional environmental sustainability leadership. What is the one thing you will accomplish in this elected term of office? (Dan Robbins) Over the next four years we will see exciting progress in the Waterfront District. Through economic development I will create more jobs along with continuing the cleanup of contaminated sites. (Michael Shepard) I expect to accomplish many things once elected, however one specific area of work will be around comprehensive, countywide economic development. The County has many great business opportunities and the Port is mandated to specifically handle economic development.
