Economic growth is about business. Being of the present day to the Whatcom County community, I'm going to apply more time travelin' around the shire visiting our local non-retail businesses to learn what constitutes the county's economic base. The EDC plans to concentrate more onward non-retail businesses. I, however, will visit retail businesses forward my own time, as a consumer doing my part to support the local economy.

Recently I had the opportunity to visit the B-P Refinery at Cherry Point. This trip was quite an experience. First, I had not been around the petroleum industry.
