  • Developers offer various visions for Bellingham waterfront

    BELLINGHAM - Nine would-be developers have provided the Port of Bellingham with preliminary ideas for the first phase of waterfront development, and they have widely varying ideas about the suitability of the Granary Building for rehabilitation.

    The Granary's prospects are just one element of the development plans presented in rough outline in response to the port's request for expressions of developer interest in a small portion of its waterfront holdings envisioned as the first phase of long-awaited waterfront redevelopment. The site is 10.8 acres at the northeastern edge of the old Georgia-Pacific Corp. mill site along Whatcom Waterway.

    Among the ideas that developers are discussing are artist lofts, luxury hotels, a swimming pool, apartments, offices and shops.

    He had an audience of about 200 people, many of them students, on the Western Washington University campus.
