BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A site for environmental cleanup on the Bellingham Bay has passed a major milestone.

The Port of Bellingham announced they have finished dredging the I&J Waterway.

The Port said that remaining work for the I&J Waterway clean up include adding new piles and building a new dock, both of which are underway.

They expect the project to be completed by February 2026.

For now, the Port wanted to let residents know there will be some noise between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. as crews work to pile drive at the site.

The I&J Waterway is one of 12 sites on the Bellingham Bay that the state Department of Ecology has worked on with local agencies to clean up since 2000.

Most of these projects take years to be completed according to My Bellingham Now’s previous coverage.
