Larrabee Springs demonstrates its dedication to the environment with the hiring of Earth First Lawn Care, the community maintenance consultant for the Reserve at Cordata.

We are creating a new neighborhood
It’s success will be measured by how we treat the earth and deliver on the higher ideals and goals of smart growth. We begin with progressive development standards and build on what we hear from you.
These are some of the guidelines we have developed so far:
- Being the first LEED Neighborhood in our state
- Planning now so we will have the right, diverse mix of housing that people want to live in for the next 20 years
- Protecting the natural habitat of the Springs in a nature preserve
- Partnering with Farm Friends and other conservation groups
- Preserving and creating both active and passive outdoor areas with ties into a region wide system of permanent open spaces that link Larrabee Springs to other parks and trails in Bellingham
- Helping to create a workable system to purchase or transfer development rights out of agricultural and resource lands
