Visionary Community Leader BRIAN GRIFFIN

Recognized

On the exterior wall of Village Books adjacent to the Fairhaven Village Green, you will now find a well deserved tribute to Bellingham native Brian Griffin— an acknowledgment from the community he has so generously served.

His many accomplishements and civic contributions are far too numerous and varired to list here,* but it's worth noting that this multi-talented visionary is responsible for the creation of some of Bellingham’s most cherished outdoor spaces including Boulevard Park, Depot Market Square, and the Fairhaven Village Green. Thank you, Brian!
