Bellingham Plan Open House at WWU
Nov 14 (Thursday) , 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
We Want to Hear from You
Bellingham is growing and we need to plan intentionally for more housing, jobs, and services. We spent the past year getting input from the community on how we should grow. Then we developed a growth strategy based on what we heard, and changes required by state laws. Now, we’re ready to hear your thoughts on the strategy we’re proposing.
About this Event
Our colleges and universities are a big part of our community. That’s why we’re taking the Bellingham Plan to the Western Washington University campus. During this open-house-style events, we will dive into overviews of each of the plan’s chapters. City staff will be there ready to answer your questions.
- Who’s Invited: This event is open to the public in addition to students.
- Location: Western Washington University Viking Union MPR
- Parking: There is very limited paid parking available · in WWU lots (the lot labeled 6V is just behind the Viking Union).
- Time: This event will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and you can arrive any time in that window. You can stay for the whole thing, or just swing by for 15 minutes – whatever works for your schedule. It will be held as an open house event, with staff available to answer questions or discuss areas of interest. Information, activities, and avenues for providing feedback will be provided.
- Food will be provided.
While signing up is optional, it helps us a lot and ensures we have enough food for everyone.

What is the Bellingham Plan?
The Bellingham Plan will guide the city’s growth for the next 20 years. It addresses important topics, such as housing, transportation, and climate resilience, and establishes high-level goals and policies for the city. Those goals and policies will guide development, capital investments, City programs, and other actions across Bellingham as we work toward our vision for 2045.
