Ex-mayor critical of Bellingham waterfront plans

The city's former mayor is breaking a self-imposed silence to criticize the plans for waterfront redevelopment coming together under Mayor Kelli Linville and Port of Bellingham leadership.

Dan Pike, an alumnus of Western Washington University's Huxley College of the Environment, will give a talk titled "Bellingham's Waterfront: Where We're Going, Where We Should Be Going, and How My Huxley Education Helps Me Understand the Difference," Thursday, Feb. 7, at the university. He promises not to pull any punches.
