Paben has been a reporter for The Bellingham Herald since fall 2006, covering growth, transportation and other topics. He also writes for The BellinghamHerald's Traffic Talk blog.

We appreciate your participation on the blog. We encourage expressions of opinion, rebuttals and criticism. To ensure everybody is comfortable participating and commenting on posts, we ask that readers refrain from posting personal attacks, and from bantering back and forth with one another, off-topic. We also strongly encourage people to use their real names when posting comments, just as we do.
