Library, condominium project draws interest

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.
