BELLINGHAM - Port of Bellingham Commissioner Scott Walker announced Tuesday, April 16, that he will step down when his term is over at the end of this year, ending a 22-year run on the port commission.
Walker made the announcement at the start of the port commission's regular meeting. He said he simply wants more time to relax, although he regrets leaving before waterfront redevelopment gets underway and airport terminal expansion is finished. Walker said he has already stayed on the port commission longer than he had intended.
"There's always some reason to be here for the next four-year term," Walker said.
