From page 7
Middleton: We only lost three or four parking spaces, and those were the ones that were right in front of Bay Breeze Restaurant and Bar. Otherwise, there have been a couple spots moved around because of stormwater work, some rain gardens that are being installed to take care of the quality of the water before it goes into the bay. But, otherwise, all those parking spots that were there are going right back in.
Q: Is the Harborview Road and Birch Bay Drive drainage improvement project happening?
Middleton: That is happening. That’s a Birch Bay Watershed and Aquatic Resources Management District (BBWARM) project. Public works and BBWARM are all in the same building. So, the people that are designing that, working on that, are in the same building as the people that are designing and working on the berm. There’s constant communication between the two. The one issue that we always have in construction is timing of permits, so there’s been some coordination. And some things that we’ve had to change and move around.
Karcher: People should not be concerned. The berm gravel will be in place before the project’s outfall goes in for the Harborview project that the BBWARM stormwater program is doing. So, we’re

trying to closely coordinate with them to minimize any impacts to permanent work.
More information on the BBWARM project can be found at bit.ly/37Gh9rv.
Q: How much does each truck of gravel cost? It’s fun to think about, as each truck goes by, the amount of money that’s incorporated in this project.
Middleton: I don’t have that information. But we are over $15 million for this project, so you can do the math. And a significant amount of that is just gravel, and work that we are putting back into the community. You know, we take the lowest bid, that’s just what we do, but it was really nice to have a local contractor get the bid for this project. They’re doing great work. Granite is – from at least my perspective – very easy to work with, and they’re very community concerned. All around, I don’t know if it was worth waiting 40 years, but it was worth the wait to get to this point.

Marian Dolores Leer June 3,1943–November 30, 2020
Marian Dolores Leer peacefully passed away on November 30. Marian was born on June 3, 1943 in Glendale, CA to parents Robert and Eva Jarvie. Bob’s early career, as assistant manager of Newberry’s Department Store, meant moving the young family to Fort Collins, CO; Billings, MT; Medford, OR; and Ratone, NM before their final move to Ferndale, WA where Bob founded Jarvie’s Department Store. Marian graduated from Ferndale High School in 1961 and attended Western Washington University in Bellingham.
Marian met her husband Conrad (Connie) on a blind date. Connie’s first impression of Marian, “She was very easy to talk to and very pretty.” Connie and Marian were married on December 21, 1962 – a marriage spanning nearly 58 years. They had three children, Stephanie (1964), Brenda (1967) and Sean (1971).
Marian created a home filled with love. When Connie left for work every day, they always said goodbye to each other with loud smoochy kisses that made their children cringe! Marian read to her children, colored pictures alongside them, kept the cookie jar full, created fun birthday parties and could easily be talked into going to Chuck’s Drive-In for an ice cream cone. Marian was the “World’s Best Pie Baker” specializing in blackberry pie using berries picked by Connie. She was quite the artist and would transform rocks she found while beach combing at Semiahmoo into wonderful painted houses and animals. She and Connie took great pride in their yard and she was thrilled when they were named “Best Yard of the Week” by the Blaine is Beautiful Committee.
Marian had a close relationship with her father and worked for him at Jarvie’s Department Store for many years, until he retired and sold the store. Marian later worked at Blaine Pharmacy and Blaine Bouquet.
Marian had many dear friends. One of her closest friends was her sister Celeste who shared a similar sense of humor and an affinity for gorilla jokes. The GERKS began as a fun picnicking group nearly 30 years ago and evolved into a group of very close friends sharing each other’s highs and lows (someone needs to write a book). Marian enjoyed the fellowship with her church family and cherished her friendships in the women’s prayer group.
Marian suffered two strokes and a myriad of other health problems over the past twenty years. However, she never gave up and we began to think of her as the “Energizer Bunny.”
Every night when Marian tucked her children into bed – even into adulthood – she would say, “God bless you and keep you.” God bless Marian – beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and daughter – keep her in your loving arms until we meet again.
Marian was predeceased by her parents Robert and Eva Jarvie. She is survived by her husband Conrad Leer; daughters Stephanie (Scott) Tibbits, Brenda (Brian) Deeley; son Sean (Michelle) Leer; grandchildren Riley, Madeleine, Allison, Bobby and Matt; great-grandchild Beatrice; and sister Celeste (Sam) Hilde and their family.
Our deepest gratitude to the Visiting Angels for their exceptional care of Marian, which allowed her to live in the lovely home she created until end of life and her sister Celeste for her constant loving support for Marian and Connie.
A celebration of life will be announced sometime in 2021 when it is safe to gather. Memorials may be made to Northwood Chapel, 580 C Street, Blaine, WA 98230.
