Join fellow residents in supporting the annexation of the Alderwood area into the City of Bellingham.
The Alderwood Annexation initiative is a grassroots campaign led by local residents, aiming to incorporate the Alderwood area into the City of Bellingham. This 802-acre area, currently in Whatcom County, stands to gain from improved urban services, better infrastructure, and a more cohesive community structure.
We need enough signatures to compel the city to revisit and apply for annexation. Join us in making this vision a reality by signing our petition!
Annexation into the City of Bellingham will lead to the elimination of the 50% surcharge on sewer and water services currently paid by properties on city utilities. Additionally, residents will no longer have to pay levies to Fire District 8, the County Road District, or the County Library District. Overall, property owners can expect a significant reduction in their annual property tax bills, resulting in substantial savings.
Once annexed, the Alderwood area will benefit from enhanced public services. This includes more responsive and efficient law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medical services provided by the city. These improvements ensure a safer and more secure environment for all residents.
The City of Bellingham will take over the maintenance and improvement of streets and sidewalks in the Alderwood area. Residents can expect better-maintained roads, upgraded sidewalks, and access to essential city utilities, such as water and sewer services. These infrastructure enhancements will improve the overall quality of life and convenience for the community.
Annexation will make the City of Bellingham responsible for maintaining our parks and recreational areas, ensuring they are well cared for and improved. This includes neighborhood parks, recreational centers, and various community activities and programs. Enhanced recreational opportunities will contribute to a healthier and more active community, benefiting all residents.
With annexation, Alderwood residents will be able to run for and serve on the City Council. This means having a stronger voice in local governance and decision-making processes. Residents will have better opportunities to influence policies and initiatives that directly impact their community, ensuring their needs and concerns are addressed.
