PUMP TRACK
Covers a brief history of the early construction plans, prior to the creation of "Track Side" in Downtown Bellingham, Wash.

The Port partnered with the City of Bellingham and agreed to refurbish and dedicate the space to creating new parks, trails and services — as well as showcase several historical structures that remain from the Georgia Pacific tissue mill.
