Monthly Overview
January 2026 marked the opening of Whatcom County Council's Planning and Development Committee for the new year. The month featured one committee session focused on organizational setup and an important land use discussion for Lummi Island. The committee elected new leadership — Jessica Rienstra as Chair and Ben Elenbaas and Kaylee Galloway as Co-Vice Chairs — and received an introductory briefing on a proposed zoning code amendment (AB2026-017) that would allow The Gathering Place community center to share its commercial kitchen with local food entrepreneurs for off-site food production. More meetings will be added as January content is processed.
