Sharp-eyed Main Street drivers may have noticed the demolition of the sign in front of City Hall. Thanks to a matching grant from the Port of Bellingham, the City is able to update the City sign that helps visitors navigate to our City Hall. The current sign was a safety hazard for staff to use and featured our outdated logo. The new sign will match the font and design of the Police Station and Ferndale Library signage and provide a clearer visual landmark. The new sign (artistic rendering below) is expected to be installed in Spring.
