January 24 - 30, 2008 OPINION Whatcom Independent • 7 editorial Offering hope

e’d like to be optimistic about the possible outcome of the discussion between Whatcom County and WBellingham officials on the size of the city’s Urban Growth Area (UGA). Both of the councils are slated to consider this topic soon, the city on Monday, Jan. 28 and the county likely to consider it the following evening. After the long debate between the city and county, it is refresh- ing to hear some new ideas and some ways to move forward. Thanks to newly elected Mayor Dan Pike and City Councilor Jack Weiss for that. Community involvement is key at this point. Nobody wants to see the long-term efforts of city residents go to naught in any kind of rush to reach agreement between the county and city. Our hope for a positive outcome rests on several factors, and none of them is by any means a certainty.
