The Port submitted $33.5 million in Remedial Action Grant applications to the Washington State Department of Ecology for the 2027–2029 biennium. These grants are funded through the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA), the state’s primary source for environmental cleanup funding.
The applications support cleanup work at four sites in Bellingham and Blaine and align with Commission priorities, including the BST rail project, inner harbor modernization, and industrial investment in Blaine. Funding decisions will be part of the upcoming state budget process, where availability may be limited.
