🚒 The Birch Bay Chamber Supports North Whatcom Fire & Rescue's Levy Lid Lift!
The Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce is proud to support North Whatcom Fire & Rescue's Proposition 2026-03, which will appear on the August 4th Primary Election ballot.
Our community depends on North Whatcom Fire & Rescue every day, for emergency medical response, fire protection, rescue services, and community safety. Over the past two decades, emergency calls have increased significantly while the district's voter-approved fire levy has steadily declined due to state levy limitations. According to the district, the levy restoration would help maintain emergency response, hire and retain firefighters, replace aging equipment, and invest in facilities needed to serve our growing communities.
We encourage everyone to take a few minutes to learn more before casting your ballot. Read the article from The Northern Light and watch the Local 106 interview to hear directly from Fire Chief Jason Van der Veen about why the district says this funding is needed.
Our firefighters are there for us every day. We encourage our community to be informed and to participate in this important local election.
