I'm toying around with the idea of writing an opinion piece that reveals the waterfront project, the rail corridor and GP Terminal, and the Port's expansion of the airport as economic boondoggles that will either (a) never come to pass or (b) never recoup any of their costs. If you have any leads or opinions you want to send to me on this: rferrisx@gmail.com. -thanks RMF
In the meantime, The 'Bellingham Blogosphere' produced excellent articles this week on the Waterfront Project:
- Wendy Harris in The Whatcom Watch : Bellingham’s Dioxin-Contaminated Mountain
- Dan McShane in The Washington Landscape : ASB to Marina: Look Past the Personalities and the Past
Other Dan McShane articles on the waterfront:
