Twenty Years Down the Road: A reflection on Whatcom County’s recent Comprehensive Plan process

Northwest Washington is a place of unique abundance. Salmon and orcas move through the Salish Sea, one of North America’s largest estuaries, billions of birds pass through along the Pacific Flyway, and our mature forests store carbon as well as almost anywhere on Earth.
