BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A local credit union is reversing course as the City of Bellingham plans to relocate a tiny home village.

North Coast Credit Union (NCCU) announced that they will be selling their Northwest Avenue location to the city for nearly $1.3 million. Bellingham City Council approved the sale of the North Coast property on Monday, Sept. 30.

Earlier this year, the city purchased a plot of land adjacent to the credit union to replace two tiny home villages facing relocation deadlines.

MyBellinghamNow previously reported that North Coast Credit Union appealed the tiny homes permit stating that it would violate various regulations. NCCU President and CEO A.C. Griffith said that part of their decision was based on their customers’ increased use of their online services.

The branch will remain open until the sale of the property is complete, and all employees will be offered positions at North Coast’s other locations.
