Tourism with Lindsey Gerhard and Kelp Farming with Riley Stark


This week's episode features an interview with Lindsey Gerhard of Whatcom/Bellingham Tourism as she talks all things waterfront-tourism and highlights the Love Your Waterfront Passport Program - your pass to Whatcom's waterfront spots!

The Quest Passport program also has other passports for the area, and you can have the chance to win prizes all while supporting local businesses, artists, and locations in Whatcom County. Lindsey also talks about other highlights in tourism for the county. If you need good ideas for what to do this summer, don't miss this interview.

We also highlight an exciting new endeavor from Lummi fisherman Riley Stark, with his new Kelp farming operation on Lummi Island. Kelp farming isn't a new industry, but it is growing significantly of late, and Riley gives good insight into the transition he made, and the future of kelp farming in our region.
