COAL MINES UNDER BELLINGHAM


BLUE CANYON MINE
A long time ago

Here is a fascinating history of coal mining in Bellingham, related by George Mustoe, recently retired from WWU Geology.  George is a widely recognized authority on paleo-botany, as well as a mining historian.  He recently addressed the local historical society, resulting in a video you all should watch – and not only because it features your favorite geophysicist in a brilliant cameo role.

To watch the video, Google “Whatcom Coal”, and then click on the link featuring George.

You may think that coal mining is a dull subject – but with George Mustoe’s help you will discover otherwise.
