This Whatcom city is gifting the first 10 residents that build ADUs on their property
Feb. 16—A city in Whatcom County is encouraging homeowners to build Accessory Dwelling Units on their property to help increase local housing availability.
The city of Ferndale wants residents to add ADUs, either attached or detached, and for the first 10 property owners who comply, they will receive a Metallica-themed shirt from the city.
The shirt is inspired by the Metallica album "And Justice for All" but the city repurposed it to say "And Housing for All," according to a news release from the city.
"Building an ADU is great for Ferndale. It adds to our housing supply, provides opportunities for rentals or aging in place and utilizes existing city infrastructure," Ferndale Mayor Greg Hansen said in the release.
