Ready SAVETHEWATERFRONT
...PHASE 2
Stop a polluting pile of metal at the Bellingham Waterfront
Stop an industrial metal shredder near sensitive ecosystems and close to homes, schools and businesses.
Allow for Bellingham's Alderwood Urban Growth Area to survive and thrive with industry that can coexist with the environment and community.
It could happen again
The laws and leaders who allowed for the metal pile and the metal shredder are still in place. An ABC like operation could begin again tomorrow, just as it quietly did in 2020 and 2022.
Intent is not enough
Zoning and Codes failed the communities of Bellingham and Whatcom County. Leaders allowed ABC to profit and damage the environment, when our City and County Code did not allow for it. The intent was there, but the will was not.
It is clear that we cannot trust in our current rules and regulations.
It is clear that we cannot trust in leadership who puts profit over community.
That must change.
