*At this time the PNA has not taken a position on the University Ridge development. We provide members with information about any activities related to the neighborhood & this development. The following message is from a member.

In conjunction with some residents of the Puget and Samish neighborhoods, I am organizing a group to oppose the development known as University Ridge. This dormitory/apartment complex for students in Bellingham is to be located between Nevada St. and Puget St., wholly within the Puget neighborhood boundaries.
