Bellingham to Host State Championships
Bellingham was recently selected by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association to host the 2007 state finals for Class 1A and 2A state track and field as well as the 2007 golf championship for all classifications. The track and field events will be held at Civic Stadium and the golf events will happen at 9 different golf courses throughout Whatcom and Skagit County.
This is an excellent opportunity to help put our growing city on the map. The events will bring an estimated 4,350 athletes, coaches and staff to our area and add approximately $400,000 to our economy.
On top of the economic benefits, Whatcom County residents will get to cheer on their athletes at the state level without having to travel!
