Paul Schissler, spokesperson for the Blaine Partnership Project, presented the project’s proposal to construct two buildings at the current site of the Blaine library and skate park during a community presentation at Blaine Senior Center on February 29. One building would house 44 condominiums, while the other would have a new Blaine library, 27 affordable and market-rate condominiums, and commercial spaces envisioned to include a childcare facility. Kulshan Community Land Trust is leading the project, which is still in the preliminary stages, with partnership from the city of Blaine and Whatcom County Library System.
