Project Highlights
This project involves the acquisition of 110 forested acres on Chuckanut Mountain (Larrabee State Park), south of Bellingham. This project was part of an innovative private/public partnership with State Parks, Department of Natural Resources, Whatcom County, City of Bellingham, and Trillium Corporation. The project enhances recreation, maintains areas suitable for forestry, and provides improved flexibility for future residential development in Bellingham.
