Coming Wednesday, August 27th....
What's the Matter with Lake Whatcom?
The Washington Dept. of Ecology has directed the City of Bellingham and
Whatcom County to take drastic action to preserve the health of our water
supply. A report by the Bellingham branch of Ecology says our community must
reduce the impact of land development around Lake Whatcom by more than 70
percent. So far as public water supplies are concerned, a directive of this
severity seems to be without precedent in our state.
Mayor Dan Pike and County Executive Pete Kremen will discuss their options
and answer questions posed by Sam Taylor of the Bellingham Herald and other
news reporters, at the August 27th City Club Luncheon. The third member of
the panel will be the author of the controversial report, Steve Hood of the
Dept. of Ecology.
The program is open to the public. No reservations required.
When: Noon, Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Where: Northwood
Hall, 3240 Northwest Ave., Bellingham
Cost: Members $11; non-members $16 (note new prices)
