However, the project quickly drew sharp criticism from locals skeptical of its feasibility. Meanwhile funding backers expressed frustration as promises by the developer went unmet and the project hit repeated delays, the Bellingham Herald reported.
The project was supposed to have around 30 private domes in early 2024, but as of March 2025, only one was completed.
