Whatcom County Food System Committee Survey. Deadline: July 1, 2022
Community members are invited to participate in an online survey to gather input on Whatcom County’s food system and proposed goals for a revised food plan. The food system is a network of people and activities connecting production, transformation (processing), distribution, consumption, and food waste management. It also addresses policies, influences, and imbalances. Survey online.
Jail planning. Deadline: Late 2022

YOUR PROPERTY TAXES
How much do I pay, and where does the money go? Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan counties report how much each jurisdiction collects in property taxes, and how much each individual pays, depending on where they live and the value of their property.
Civic agenda is published weekly on Thursdays. Send items to EricTrent@cascadiadaily.com.
