Neighborhood groups throughout Bellingham are updating their neighborhood plans. The Samish Way area is one area the <a href="http://www.sehome.org/" rel="nofollow">Sehome Association</a> would like to upgrade and make more in line with The City of Bellingham's goal of infilling. An <a href="http://www.sehome.org/samishway/samishway.html" rel="nofollow">Urban Village along Samish Way</a> would do just the trick with the urban village concept fully developed. Right now, the city is focusing on urban village development in four areas: <a href="http://www.bellinghamwahomes.com/Downtown_Bellingham/page_1734471.html" rel="nofollow">Bellingham's Downtown</a>, <a href="http://www.bellinghamwahomes.com/Fairhaven/page_1260705.html" rel="nofollow">Fairhaven</a>, Barkley Village and Old Town. But planners like what’s happening in Sehome, and could nudge Samish Way into a priority spot if the effort continues with broad support from residents, businesses and property owners. Supporters say an urban village would benefit residents by providing a livelier mix of shops and services, redesigning Samish Way to make it safer for pedestrians, and reducing crime by having more people live, work and shop in the area.

It's a move up from the Sehome job that is a 2A school vs Puyallup at the 4A level. Sounds like he has a great nucleus of players to coach. He and his family are very excited about the new challenge. Good luck Scott. My nephew, Scott Campbell has been hired to take the head basketball coaching job at Puyallup High School, near Tacoma, Washington.
