Bellingham's relationship with Russian sister city grows as global economy improves

"Bellingham continues to build an economic relationship with one of its oldest sister cities.

Last month John Sands, a business management instructor at Western Washington University, and Dave Malcolm Woods, a counselor for the Bellingham chapter of SCORE, visited Nakhodka, Russia. Both were there to see the opening of a new entrepreneurship center and host a seminar about economic business strategies."
