Whatcom County Council approves settlement with Caitac

If Whatcom County changes zoning to let Caitac USA build a resort hotel and housing north of Bellingham, the company will drop its legal challenge, according to an approved settlement.
The County Council on Tuesday, Feb. 22, voted 4-3 to approve a settlement agreement with the company, which has sought urban zoning for its land north of Bellingham for years. Council members Sam Crawford, Kathy Kershner, Bill Knutzen and Tony Larson voted to approve it. Barbara Brenner, Ken Mann and Carl Weimer voted against it.
