Lynden staff present 2025 Comprehensive Plan update, project timeline set for November review
Summary
Planning staff presented a draft 2025 Comprehensive Plan update that frames growth through 2045; state estimates show Whatcom County adding over 67,000 people by 2045 and Lynden expecting about 6,665 additional residents. The draft goes to the Department of Commerce this year and returns to council in November.
Staff from Lynden's Planning Division presented the draft 2025 Comprehensive Plan update, describing it as the city's guiding document for accommodating growth and prioritizing public works projects. The presentation noted a State Office of Financial Management projection that Whatcom County will add over 67,000 people by 2045, and staff estimated Lynden could see approximately 6,665 more residents by that year.
The update must be submitted to the Washington State Department of Commerce by the end of 2025; Planning Commission hearings on the draft have begun and staff said the Council will receive the document for formal review in November. Council members were invited to provide feedback at any time rather than waiting for the public hearing process.
