Building in Bellingham WA

It's nice that the Bellwether complex is getting built in Bellingham, by David Ebenal. Despite the recession and the economic breakdown, some people still want to fight it out and build things. It isn't easy but it has to be done.

Bellwether Gate, LLC is a new venture of the Ebenal people. They are local folks that have made it big but know that they still have roots in Bellingham WA. You have to fight it out for development, because some of the greenie stuff is getting out of control. If solar and wind power is too expensive, it will be impossible to finance it with subsidies from the government. Still it is nice to remember that the Bellwether complex already has 38 businesses that create jobs for about 400 people. And this is not all fun stuff for the tourists, with the leading engineering firm CH2M Hill taking up most of the Bellwether Gate building. The last three buildings of the complex should be finished by the end of this year.

Out on the peninsula is where all the beautiful people want to live. It is part of the separation in the United States between the haves and the have-nots. That has been a longstanding problem in Washington State and the United States, but that could change.

The big engineering company, CH2MHill, is moving 250 employees into the office complex, so the next question is what will they be building. Why not think big with the North American Water and Power Alliance project, popularly known as NAWAPA.

Bellingham would have to be a center of the action, between Washington State, Idaho, and then communications up north to Vancouver British Columbia, and to Alaska.
