This is the first year of elections for county council members under the newly approved charter amendment for district only voting. If you remember, in 2015 the County voted in favor of amending the County Charter to create five (5) new Council districts with representatives to be chosen from each district and two additional at-large positions. Positions for District 1, 2, 3 and At-Large Position A will be voted on this year. In 2019, District 4, 5 and the At-Large Position B will be voted on. There will also be many other positions this year including two Port commissioners as well as cities, school districts, fire districts, water districts, cemetery districts, park and recreation districts, and hospital districts. This is a full slate. Give it your utmost consideration. This is an election that impacts you at every level. You really can make a difference! It’s up to you to do so.

  • Chapter 3: Where Does Whatcom County Get Its Food?
    Chapter 3 Where Does Whatcom County Get its Food? Market surveys spend thousands of dollars trying to discern what, where, and how much people spend on food. Information about trends in consumer food purchasing and farm sales is integral to any CFA because they are the ultimate indicator of the health of the local food economy. Beyond the economic health of the agricultural and food system, the viability of local farms as well as retail and wholesale food businesses has a direct impact upon the availability of food to Whatcom County citizens. By examining where Whatcom County residents are buying their food and what barriers they face to accessing that food easily and affordably, we can begin to determine the localized market potential for farms and also what opportunity exists for the development and strengthening of the entire local food system—from farm to processing facility to food stores to residents’ kitchen tables. This CFA does not use marketing data or provide references to any particular business; the data that is presented describes food-buying practices by source (grocery, restaurant, farm direct, etc.). This CFA also looks at food that people produce in groups and food that can be accessed through emergency providers (such as food banks). While it does not document the number of residents with home gardens, this section describes a variety of community gardens—increasing in number each year—that exist in Whatcom County. How Whatcom County Residents Spend their Food Dollars In 2007, Whatcom County residents spent over $642 million at grocery stores, restaurants, and direct from farmers.
