Wilder
Construction Sells Stake to Granite Employee-owned Wilder Construction Co. has agreed to give a California construction company the right to purchase a majority of its stock. Granite Construction Inc. of Watsonville initially will buy 30 percent of Wilder's stock for $13.1 million. That figues places the total valuation of Wilder Construction at $43.6 million. Granite Construction will have the right to increase its ownership stake to between 51 and 60 percent in 2002 and to 75 percent in 2004. Wilder Construction, founded by Charles Wilder in Bellingham in 1911 and expanded substantially by his son Chuck Wilder, now has headquarters in Everett and offices in Bellingham, Olympia, Portland, Ore., and Anchorage, Alaska. After Chuck Wilder retired, it became an employee-owned company in 1990. The heavy-civil construction company, know primarily for building roads and highways, employs as many as 800 workers during the summer. With annual revenue of about $150 million, it was ranked second among construction companies in Washington by the Puget Sound Business Journal. Granite Construction, a publicly traded company, is a diversified heavy-civil construction firm and a producer of construction materials. It has 32 offices nationwide and, with $1.23 billion in revenue in 1998, was ranked the fourth-largest heavy-civil contractor in the country by Engineering News Record. Wilder Construction will benefit from Granite Construction's expertise and equipment and be able to expand its bidding capacity and geographic reach, according to Robert Helsell, Wilder's chairman and chief executive officer. In a separate transaction, Wilder Construction purchased 230 gravel-laden acres several miles south of Everson for $1.1 million. The acreage, near Wilder's 160-acre gravel pit at the corner of Everson-Goshen and East Pole roads, became available after its owners a partnership of Wilder Construction, Van Boven Gravel of Everson and AG Enterprises of Lydnen decided to dissolve.
Puget Sound Energy has agreed to assist the development of a major shipping terminal and industrial park planned for Cherry Point. Besides marketing the project and attracting new industries to Whatcom County, Puget Sound Energy will provide electric service for all of its terminal facilities, according to the project developer, Pacific International Terminals. Puget Sound Energy is exploring the possibility of providing the project additional infrastructure services, according Gary Swofford, PSE's chief operating officer. He says the deepwater Gateway Pacific Terminal and an adjacent 1,100-acre industrial park should create hundreds of new family-wage jobs. Pacific International Terminals is a joint venture of Bellingham Stevedoring Co., Seattle-based Stevedoring Services of America and the Jim Pattison Group, based in Vancouver, B.C. The Cherry Point project includes a state-of-the-art marine terminal for shipping and receiving marine cargo. A steel-and-concrete wharf, capable of berthing cape-size ships and regional barge traffic, will be linked to shore by a 950-foot trestle. A looped railroad line will enable rail freight to be loaded and unloaded directly at the terminal. Pacific International Terminals obtained a shoreline-development permit for the project last summer. Project manager Wayne Schwandt says construction will begin as soon as additional permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a submerged lands lease from the state Department of Natural Resources are obtained.

Dentech, a Canadian-owned dental equipment company, is moving its assembly plant from Sumas to a larger building in Lynden in early March. Dentech will occupy 26,017 square feet in the back of the Fairway Center that has been vacant for nearly eight years. The vacancy occurred when the Ennen's grocery store there closed, coinciding with the opening of The Fair Market in Lynden Towne Plaza in the summer of 1993. The remaining 2,000 square feet of the former grocery story will be converted into office space in several months. Dentech, owned by Ash Temple, Ltd., is moving because the Fairway Center building has more space than its 18,000-square-foot building in Sumas, where the company has been since 1984. The Fairway Center gives the company more room for assembly, as well as space for a showroom and a technical training room. Another factor in the move is Lynden's central location in Whatcom County, according to Dentech production manager Sue Stafford. Dentech has about 35 employees in its assembly plant and about twice as many in its British Columbia manufacturing facility. The manufacturing plant also is moving west from Abbotsford to Aldergrove, several miles north of the Lynden border crossing in May.

The recipes, names and packaging were developed at Western. Customers selected a flavored tortilla and add rice, beans, vegetables, cheese, chicken and salsa to make a quick meal.

Abercrombie & Fitch Headed to Bellis Fair Abercrombie & Fitch, one of the nation's leading retailers, will open a store this fall at Bellis Fair mall in Bellingham. The 5,903-square-foot store will be located in the main mall section in the former Lerner NY space. Lerner NY closed its Bellis Fair store Jan. 31. Abercrombie & Fitch is a specialty retailer of quality, casual American sportswear, targeted to men and women approximately 15-50 years old. The brand was established in 1892 and became well known as a supplier of rugged, high-quality outdoor gear. In 1992, the company was repositioned as a more fashion-oriented casual apparel business directed at men and women with a youthful lifestyle. Bellis Fair had announced late last year that GAP Kids would also open in the mall this fall as part of an expanded GAP store. During construction, GAP is operating a temporary store in the Bon Marché wing. The addition of Abercrombie & Fitch and GAP Kids, coupled with the 19 new stores that opened in 1999, positions Bellis Fair for continued success in the years ahead, says Charlie Christensen, the mall's general manager.

Il Fiasco, located downtown at 1309 Commercial St., has been listed for sale since May. The Pagels, who live in Hawaii, had planned to operate the restaurant until it was sold. Managing our fast-food restaurants from Hawaii was a piece of cake, Molly Pagel says. However, with a fine-dining restaurant of this caliber, it is a whole different story. We have been in negotiations with several prospective new owners who would like to continue with Il Fiasco's reputation as Bellingham's most upscale restaurant, she adds. My guess is the restaurant will be back in full operation with new owners by late spring.

Postal Rate Hike May Occur Early in 2001 The U.S. Postal Service is seeking an increase in its mailing rates, although they won't change until early 2001 even if they are approved. The proposed rates include a 1-cent jump (3 percent) for First Class mail to 34 cents. The first-ounce rate for presorted letters would increase from 30.5 cents to 32 cents and the rate for presorted postcards would remain at 18 cents. Higher rates also are proposed for other types of mail by the Postal Service, a semi-independent federal agency which doesn't receive tax money for its operations. Above-average increases are proposed for flat-shaped items such as Priority Mail, periodicals, standard mail catalogs, bound printed matter. The overall average rate increase is 6.4 percent. The current rate structure took effect Jan. 10, 1999. The rate proposal goes to the independent Postal Rate Commission, which will conduct hearings and issue a decision in about 10 months. If it approves increases, the proposal then goes to the Postal Service's board of governors. The board has been reluctant to enact higher rates before the Christmas mailing season.
