Learn more about the scope, work, and budget for your County government at the first annual
County Open House held Sept. 3rd, from 6:OOPM-7:30PM in the County Courthouse. Staff
from across the county departments will be available to answer questions from the public and

"People connect best when they meet face-to-face and talk as neighbors," said County
Executive Satpal Sidhu. "We are opening the doors and inviting you to learn more about the
work we are doing on your behalf."
Participants will be able to hear about upcoming public works construction projects, review
the upcoming county budget, get the latest updates on the new jail and behavioral care
facility, deep dive into the capabilities of our property GIS, or compete for prizes in Whatcom

the work," said County Council Chair Kaylee Galloway.
