From the meeting
At its October 28, 2026 meeting, Roland Middleton said the likely move of the Gooseberry Terminal would be to the north and that talks were beginning with the Lummi Nation. The FAQ attached to the minutes said the current tribal lease expires in October 2046 and that Public Works had requested coordination so the new location can be finalized and preliminary engineering can begin. Decision state: planning only; location and early engineering were still open.
