City to beef up municipal code enforcement

The city of Blaine has brought on an additional staff member to ensure Blaine buildings stay up to code.

The city hired Madeline (Maddie) Ottley in February as a community planner. One of her job duties will be ensuring the city’s municipal codes are being followed to the letter. She graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in urban planning and sustainable development, and recently worked as a code enforcement officer for the city of Ferndale.
