Whatcom Co. declares emergency due to severe winter weather

WHATCOM COUNTY --  Whatcom County Executive Jack Louws signed a Proclamation of Emergency on Wednesday due to the on-going severe winter weather.

Communities in the north and east of the county have been hit the hardest with heavy snow, power outages and drifting snow.

“Public Works, Law Enforcement, Fire Services and our Medical services have all been working 24/7 to deal with the impacts of the storms” said Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo.

Schools in Whatcom County have already canceled for a fourth day.
