Port update: agreement likely after 2nd negotiation period

Port of Bellingham commissioners voted unanimously on July 15 to enter a second 120-day negotiation period with Harcourt Developments Limited over the future of the city’s central waterfront.
The port is evaluating whether Dublin-based Harcourt will become the lead developer for a 10.8 acre slice of the 237-acre former industrial waterfront at the west edge of downtown.
