Church property in Bellingham could be used for student apartments
A church-owned site on three acres at the edge of downtown is being touted as a good place for a large, privately developed housing project for college students.
The property at 910 N. Forest St. is the longtime home of the Bellingham Seventh Day Adventist Church. It is now being offered for sale to potential developers by the local office of KW Commercial, a nationwide real estate brokerage.
Jim Browder, a broker with KW, said the property would be ideal for Western Washington University student residences, in a location between the university and downtown.
