The deck at Brewster's Fine Foods was packed for the Point Roberts Taxpayers Association annual general meeting. Mark Personius, assistant director of Whatcom County Planning and Development Services was the featured speaker at the July 22 meeting, explaining the different layers of county regulations and the process by which they evolve and are applied in communities like Point Roberts.

New dock closed due to damage

One month after the long-awaited dock went in at Lighthouse Marine Park, it has been closed due to structural damage and there is no timeline to reopen it.

Rod Lamb, design and development supervisor for Whatcom County Parks and Recreation said while there were moderate winds and a wind wave on July 15 and 16, it should not have been enough to damage the floating dock. "I think it was a design problem," Lamb said. "Yes, waves caused the damage but I believe it would still have happened with a smaller wave."
