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.
The Benton Franklin Fair Association signed a six-month agreement with Benton County commissioners Thursday to lease a portion of the Benton County Fairgrounds.
The fair association will pay $1,600 a month under the agreement approved by commissionersfor the Sundowns building, race track, horse barns, 4-H arena and RV parking lot, which can be rented separately.
This opens the door to horse racing and other equine events and could lead to the nonprofit taking a greater role in managing the grounds.
Vendors are being sought for the Thurston County Fair this summer.
