Bellingham is unique in that our economy is bi-national. We are the first major stop
for our northern neighbors, who enjoy all our Whatcom communities have to offer,
from Bellis Fair to the charming streets of Fairhaven. As a former customs broker
clearing shipments at our northern border for delivery within the US, I understand
the economic impact of our unique geography.
We should seek to incentivize new businesses to open in our communities as well
as promote and assist our current small businesses, making Bellingham and its
surrounding towns a must-stop for Canadians traveling down the multi-national
corridor that is the I-5.
