The Port submitted a $2.8 million Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) request to support development of a fuel dock in Blaine Harbor. Funding decisions are expected as part of the federal budget process in early 2027.
If awarded, the project would support commercial fishing and maritime operations and could be constructed alongside the Westman Marine cleanup and redevelopment. The request is supported by local fishing and maritime businesses, including the Working Waterfront Coalition of Whatcom County.
