BELLINGHAM, Wash. Demolition has begun in the run-up to another improvement in the Samish Way Urban Village.
Crews were spotted working at the former Cascade Inn at 208 North Samish Way Monday.
Once the hotel and the neighboring Villa Inn are removed, the site will be home for a new five-story, 196-unit apartment building.
Last October, City of Bellingham Senior Planner Darby Cowles told KGMI there’s been huge interest in the Samish Way area over the past few years.
The transition of the site to apartments continues the short-term phase of the city’s 15-year plan for the Samish way corridor.
