Satpal SidhuGUEST
I was on the council for five years, and there were much better expectations of... much better sense of what is coming, but not in what has happened in the last four years.
Satpal SidhuGUEST
The federal administration uncertainties, uncertainties of budgetary issues have caused more pain to all the local governments.
Satpal SidhuGUEST
It's not unique to Whatcom County.
Satpal SidhuGUEST
I think the local government, cities and counties, face the brunt of all the social issues before it reaches the state or to the federal government.
Satpal SidhuGUEST
And I think that is much more represented in a more bold way in the last several years.
Joe TehanHOST
There, there's some question out there.
Joe TehanHOST
Well, wait a minute, doesn't this put a whole monopoly on the whole Whatcom County, uh, cider business? What's going on over here? But, uh, there are some, uh, pros and cons, of course, to doing something like this, right?
Shanna Sheridan McGinnisGUEST
Yeah.

On the morning of March 18th, 2000, joggers found her heavily damaged Jeep at the bottom of a steep embankment off Canyon Creek Road, a remote logging road near the Mount Baker Highway in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest/Whatcom County, about 30 miles east of Bellingham.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Clothing was scattered nearby, with some pieces tied to trees.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The vehicle had left the road at roughly 30 to 40 miles per hour and rolled.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We're definitely seeing a decrease in tourism to our area.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Nothing about Bellingham or Whatcom County has changed.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We're still a delightful place.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So I feel like this can be directly attributed to the broad spectrum, poor choices of our current administration.
Rick ToddHOST
It was an incredible community event.
Lyle SorensonHOST
Whatcom County is a spectacular place for prep sports.
Lyle SorensonHOST

All right, 75 new opportunities, new choices, new listings in Whatcom County this week.
Lyle SorensonHOST
You heard me right.
Tor BensonGUEST
And then people, you know, always ask us when we're up in Sumas, what's the Port of Bellingham doing up here? You know, why aren't you in Bellingham? And so, like I say, basically our role is the entire county.
Tor BensonGUEST
And so the thought is, should we change our name to the Port of Whatcom? And Lummi Nation told me that's actually, you know, Lummi Nation name, native name.
Tor BensonGUEST
It is, yeah.
Tor BensonGUEST
And so they were in support of that as well.
