WHATCOM COUNTY

Whatcom County has decided that its project to replace an existing 37-foot-by-24-foot bridge and creosote pilings with a new 40-foot-by-28-foot bridge won’t likely have a significant negative impact on the environment.

The project is on the 3900 block of South Bay Drive, crossing Brannian Creek at the south end of Lake Whatcom.
