Retirement Peace Arch border crossing Popular Bellingham Bumper Sticker by Kathy Dotinga. Photo provided courtesy of the City of Bellingham A retired couple strolls along the bay at Boulevard Park. Photo provided by Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism The proximity to the Canadian border has a strong affect on the local economy. Large local retailers see up to 50% of their shoppers from British Columbia. When the Canadian dollar is strong, it creates demand for Canadian shoppers seeking retail bargains and real estate in Whatcom County. The commodities that are in highest demand among our neighbors to the north are gasoline and milk. Locals are cognizant of their carbon footprint and increasingly walk, bike and bus to work rather than using cars. Bellingham already has one of the highest bicycling and walking rates in the entire state, according to Peter Lagerwey, the Regional Office Director for Toole Design Group in Seattle. For years, Bellingham has been listed as one of the Top 25 Places to Retire. Due in part to the beauty of the area, mild climate and exceptional air quality, the variety of cultural activities, low crime rates, access to public transportation, and miles of urban trails for walking and biking. Bellingham is a volunteer-centric community and has opportunities to keep retirees busy and active. 2016 Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce & Industry 7

Life on the Canadian border Peace Arch border crossing, Blaine, WA Living on the Canadian border is one of the perks of living in Whatcom County. British Columbia offers spectacular mountain resorts, cosmopolitan attractions in Vancouver, and beachfront leisure in White Rock.

These include Peace Arch and Pacific Highway, both located in Blaine, and one in Lynden and Sumas, located further east. Of all of these crossings, Peace Arch is the largest, and ranks as the third-busiest United States-Canadian border Peace Arch crossing for passenger vehicles in the nation. There are trusted traveler programs that allow travels to get through the border faster. Go to www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs for more information. Be prepared to present a passport or other acceptable document that denotes identity and citizenship when entering the United States. U.S. citizens under age 16 may present proof of citizenship using a birth certificate or Naturalization Certificate. If you re new to crossing the border, you need to be aware of items that cannot be transported. For information on prohibited and restricted items, go to www.cbp.gov/travel/clearing-cbp. A portion of this article was written by Laurie Trautman, Ph.D., Associate Director of the Border Policy Research Institute. The Border Policy Research Institute: BPRI was established by Western Washington University to promote research and inform policy-makers on a variety of issues related to the Canada U.S. border. 2016 Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce & Industry 17

Real Estate Written by Mary Kay Robinson, Windermere Real Estate Real Estate in Whatcom County has been following national trends with both rising rents and increased home prices. Thankfully, Whatcom County has not experienced the real estate frenzy of the Seattle market where multiple offers of 30 or more on a new listing are the norm. That being said, there are instances where well priced homes in popular neighborhoods receive multiple offers. It really comes down to the preferences of the individual in terms of lifestyle and purchasing power i.e. housing bang for the buck. Here is what happened in the Whatcom County Real estate market for 2015. Whatcom County saw a drop in inventory from over 5 months to 3 months. That statistic means that if no one else listed a home, it would take only 3 months to sell off existing housing inventory. If there is between 3-6 months of inventory, it is considered a balanced market. When housing inventory levels drop below 3 months, it is considered a sellers market. That puts pressure on prices. Thus the median home price in Whatcom County in 2015 rose 10.3% to $294,500. The city of Bellingham mirrored the same trend in 2015. The median home price in Bellingham rose from $297,500 at the beginning of the year to $328,000 for an increase of 10.3%. In Ferndale and Custer, the median home price was $276,750 at the end of 2015 but in January and February of 2016, the median prices jumped to $306,000 and $317,900 respectively. Median prices in Lynden in 2015 were relatively flat for 2015 ending with $319,500 but the Blaine/Birch Bay area rose 3% to $249,500. What does it all mean? Bellingham is the county seat and is home to Western Washington University and St Joseph s Hospital. Ferndale is the next closest city. Thus the bulk of the county population is centered in that area. Population growth combined with limited land supply due to the Growth Management Act puts pressure on home prices resulting in an increase in housing prices in those two cities. In general, the further away one gets from Bellingham, the more affordable the housing. Thankfully, Whatcom County does not have the traffic issues of larger metropolitan cities. The majority of the population in Whatcom County lives within 30 minutes of jobs, health services, 1559339 22 Fall Reflection by Stacie Michaelson. Photo provided courtesy of the City of Bellingham. shopping and restaurants. Unlike Seattle to the Bellingham Housing Inventory south and Vancouver BC to the north, a family can choose a more rural lifestyle or life in a small town and still be within 30 minutes to recreational and cultural events. In the event one wishes to attend professional sports events, see big name musicians on their national tours or shop high end retail stores, it is a relatively easy to drive north or south (albeit with the normal traffic challenges of any big city) to enjoy big city life. The best part of a day in the big city though is the ability to leave it all behind and return to the beautiful landscape, easy commutes, friendly people and charming cities of Whatcom County.

Lummi Nation The Lummi are Lhaq Temish, Survivors of the Flood Long before Europeans landed, the Lummi people, located throughout the northern corner of Washington State and lower B. C., followed the salmon across the Salish Sea. Each season brought with it new bounty and sustenance for their people, from the salmon and shellfish to berries and game. The Lummi Nation still lives and thrives in Whatcom County and is an active player in the local economy. Time has brought many changes to the Nation, with demands of the modern world now shaping their lives. Whiles some resources have changed, they have successfully continued to take advantage of the opportunities that improve the lives of their people, strengthening their economy and contributing to the health of natural resources used by all local residents. Provided courtesy of Lummi Nation. Lummi People: A Self-governing Nation For thousands of years, the Lummi were an independent and self-governing people. In 1855, the Lummi Nation and the United States formally recognized each other and signed the Treaty of Point Elliott. For nearly a century the daily governance of the Lummi Nation was not under the authority of the people, but the Bureau of Indian Affairs. That changed in 1988 when the Lummi Nation became one of eight tribes to enter into self-governance compacts. As the third largest tribe in Washington State, they govern more than 5,000 members and manage nearly 13,000 acres of tidelands on the Lummi Reservation. The Lummi manage their own government functions, including cultural preservation, economic development, education, employment training, health care, law enforcement and judicial system, natural resources and public works. Natural Resources: Restoration and Protection The Lummi people have always practiced sustainable harvesting of salmon and shellfish along the shorelines of the Salish Sea. Today the Lummi Nation combines both modern science and traditional knowledge to protect and restore salmon runs for future generations. Responding to declining salmon populations, the Lummi Nation created the Lummi Salmon Enhancement Program. Through the Lummi Natural Resources Department they enhance, manage and protect fisheries, forestry, hunting, hatchery, shellfish, sea-ponds, and water resources. The Nation launched the first shellfish hatchery of its kind in the Pacific Northwest and built local salmon hatcheries. Economic Development: Building partnerships, creating jobs The Lummi people have survived and prospered through adaptation and innovation. The reef net is one of the greatest symbols of their innovation: a fishing net, woven from nettles, that mimics a reef and attracts fish. For millennia, the reef net was the key to their way of life, harnessing the bounty of the Salish Sea, creating prosperity for their people, and allowing them to build a strong trade economy with other nations. Today, their prosperity comes not only from the sea but also from new enterprises and partnerships. In 2001, the Lummi Nation established the wholly owned Lummi Commercial Company to manage its consumer goods and services businesses. Today, LCC is the eighth largest employer in Whatcom County overseeing the operation of the Silver Reef Casino, Hotel and Spa, Convention Center and commercial businesses. In 2012 the Lummi Development Holding Compa- Provided courtesy of Lummi Nation. ny was formed to manage government contracting, working toward a prosperous economic future for the Lummi community and incorporating respect for the culture, natural resources, economic, social, educational, physical, and environmental needs and values of the people. Projects have created employment and a successful economic engine for both the tribe and Whatcom County residents. Looking toward the future. Just as the invention of the reef net allowed the Lummi to pull together, harnessing the bounty of the sea for the prosperity of all, the Lummi Nation continues to create new enterprises and partnerships to strengthen the regional economy for all of its residents. 24 2016 Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce & Industry

Whatcom County A valuable economic driver By Jeff Voltz, Project Manager, Northwest Agriculture Business Center When people think of Whatcom County they are likely envisioning urban Bellingham and Western Washington University, beautiful Chuckanut Drive and its fantastic bay views, or Highway 542 and the slopes of Mt. Baker. Or maybe they are just passing through and heading north to beautiful Vancouver and British Columbia. But Whatcom County also has over 115,000 acres of amazingly verdant and productive crop and pasture land, most of it lying within the Nooksack River watershed. Whatcom County s raspberry harvest represents approx. 70% of the nation s annual raspberry crop. Photo provided by Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism. Whatcom County Agriculture is a strong driver for the economy of Whatcom County. According to the 2012 USDA Agricultural Census the total market value for the sale of commodity crops and livestock was $357 million. The county ranked No. 2 out of the 39 Washington counties in the sale of milk from cows and No. 9 in the sale of fruits, tree nuts and berries. Dairy and berry account for approximately 75 percent of the total market value of Whatcom County crops. The county harvest represents about 70 percent of the nation s entire annual raspberry crop. The berry industry employs approximately 7,000 people during the harvest period from mid- June through September. Adding value to commodity crops is the key to leveraging the $357 million in market value into $1 billion of economic impact for the county. Large berry producers add value to fresh berries through IQF (individually quick frozen) tunnels, and package the frozen berries for retail supermarkets and other outlets. Darigold, the region s large dairy cooperative, operates the nation s fourth-largest volume powdered milk plant in Lynden, with 150 associated jobs. And providing for the storing and handling the harvest of the sea and land for more than 65 years, Bellingham Cold Storage offers world-class storage, inventory control, and logistics services for the seafood, agriculture, and value-added food processing industries. Whatcom County has also attracted innovative and entrepreneurial food manufacturers. The county s proximity to I-5, the Vancouver, B.C. metro-area, and wonderful natural areas all combine to make the area an attractive place to live and establish a Whatcom County Jersey cows.

Nature s Path, commonly thought to be the nation s largest manufacturer of branded, certified-organic, packaged cereals, resides in the City of Blaine. Barlean s, first in flax oil sales nationwide in 2012, operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant outside of Ferndale. And Boundary Bay Brewery, named the nation s largest brew pub by volume in 2010, is still kicking out high-quality and popular craft beers in downtown Bellingham. If you are looking for a great place connect with the agriculture and value-added food manufacturing industries, as well as a great place to live and play, Whatcom County has much to offer. 2016 Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce & Industry 29
