BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – How do you feel about the Port of Bellingham’s proposal to expand its Board of Commissioners from three to five members?

The Port of Bellingham is seeking Whatcom County residents to write “For” or “Against” statements regarding the potential expansion. Each committee’s statement and rebuttal will appear on the local voters’ pamphlet ahead of the Nov. 4 general election.

My Bellingham Now previously reported that Port commissioners voted 2-1 earlier this week to move the decision to the voters.

Committee applications are due by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 23.

Each committee’s members are expected to be chosen during the Port Commission’s meeting the following morning.
