You might have noticed the six massive steel-riveted digester tanks on Bellingham’s downtown waterfront were glowing deep-sea blue for the Seattle Kraken hockey team last month and later shined orange in celebration of Halloween. The Port has installed color-changing lights to illuminate the tanks which are 56 feet tall and 18 feet in diameter, and will soon shine red and green for Christmas
The new lights are one of many public access improvements the Port completed this year to invite the community down to the waterfront and improve safety and security. The ‘Peter Paulsen’ stage is located on the grass lawn below the digester tanks and is clad with red bricks from Georgia Pacific’s former Pulp and Paper Mill to celebrate the history of the waterfront.

On Saturday, October 9th, Todd Elsworth, Executive Director of Recreation Northwest, presented a check for $100,000 on behalf of an Angel donor to the Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition (WMBC) at the Shoot the Trails fundraising event, helping to complete their goal to build a safe public parking lot on South Samish Way.
The new parking lot will make it safer for bikers and hikers to access the south entrance to Galbraith Mountain and the Padden trail networks. Since COVID, mountain biking, like other outdoor activities, has seen an explosion of growth, particularly popular among youth riders. WBMC’s after-school programs, two popular Bellingham girl’s programs, and the Vamos Outdoor Project have helped more than 200 young riders access the trails.

The 2022 Whatcom READS selection is the generational saga Greenwood by Canadian author Michael Christie. With trees as a guiding metaphor, Greenwood charts a family’s rise and fall and the “hopeful, impossible task of growing toward the light.”
“We think local readers will enjoy not only author Michael Christie’s writing and the book’s inventive structure but also the themes found in Greenwood,” says Whatcom READS committee chairwoman Ann McAllen. “Whatcom READS invites our community to read and discuss the same book. With Greenwood, we can explore together questions of climate change, family, Pacific Northwest botany, intersectional environmentalism and so much more.
