Bellingham Greenways 3 Fund (#173)

About this fund

Bellingham's Greenways 3 Fund holds revenue from voter-approved Greenways property-tax levies, used to acquire park and open-space land, build trails, and restore habitat. The current Greenways V levy (2024-2029) is expected to flow into this fund or a successor; verification of the exact GL routing is pending.

Methodology note

Bellingham's Chart of Accounts shows Fund 172 (Beyond Greenways) as CLOSED and Fund 173 (Greenways 3) as the current capital-projects fund. The Greenways V levy renewal in 2023 may have created Fund 174 or remained in 173 — the fund's GL key for 2024-2026 transactions will confirm. Real Record will update as this becomes documented.
