BIRCH BAY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A summer staple in Birch Bay will be reopening its gates next year.

Birch Bay Waterslides said that following extensive renovations to their property, they’re preparing to reopen in time for their 40th anniversary.

MBN previously reported that the water park was closed just before the end of their 2023 season, a guest was severely injured on a slide.

Whatcom County Health and Community Services said in March that park officials didn’t submit proper records for them to reopen this past summer. Birch Bay Waterslides added that the timing worked out for them to begin the park’s previously planned renovation.

An opening date has not been announced, but season passes will be available to purchase in the near future.
