Jail tax currently too close to call



The first votes have been counted, and the proposition to increase the sales tax by .2 percent to pay for a new Whatcom County Jail is too close to call.

Tsawwassen Mills subject of chamber AGM

Tonight's Point Roberts Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting will feature guest speakers from across the border highlighting the changes coming to the Tsawwassen First Nation lands and surrounding area, and talk about how Point Roberts businesses can catch the wave.

FIRESIDE CHAT WITH FIRE CHIEF CHRISTOPHER CARLETON 

I hope all of you have had a great year. It has been quite a year for me and it will come to a close with the honor of marrying the most wonderful and beautiful woman in my life. We are looking forward to moving to Point Roberts in the near future and becoming full time residents of this wonderful community. 

Stay safe, Chief Carleton
