Through a combination of furlough and vacation days, I will be out of the office Dec. 17-29, back in on Thursday, Dec. 30.
If there’s breaking business news or tips you’d like to pass along, please contact my boss Debbie Townsend (715-2280, debbie.townsend@bellinghamherald.com) or my co-worker John Stark (715-2274, john.stark@bellinghamherald.com).
2010 has been an interesting year in terms of covering business; while still a difficult time, there were at least some signs that a recovery began to take place. I noticed more business openings than closures, and while this area had plenty of layoffs/furloughs, there were also local companies expanding and hiring.
I expect to be raring to go once I return from my time off, so if there are some business/economy stories you think should be covered, please post a comment here or send me an e-mail (dave.gallagher@bellinghamherald.com).
Enjoy what’s left of this holiday season! – Dave
