- Community gatherings and meetings with 10 or more people will be postponed or rescheduled.
- Employees are encouraged to work remotely as much as possible and appropriate.
- Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism staff may accept one-on-one meetings.
- Meetings of fewer than 10 people may be conducted remotely.
- The walk-in Visitor Center at 904 Potter Street in Bellingham will be closed to the public until further notice and visitor information kiosks at Village Books in Fairhaven, Woods Coffee Flat Iron in Bellingham, Bellingham Cruise Terminal, Bellingham International Airport, and Bellis Fair Mall will not be staffed but will be re-stocked with materials on a weekly basis. All other visitor services will continue as usual i.e. answer phone calls, emails and website inquires.
- If you have a guest looking for visitor information, please call 360-671-3990 x 0 or email tourism@bellingham.org and our staff will assist you.
