Events

The Co-op is happy to host and sponsor a variety of community events and activities. Our sponsorship program is another way we build community as we lend our financial support to educational, cultural, and athletic events happening in and around Bellingham. Events such as these are part of what makes Whatcom County a great place to live, and the Co-op plays a part in making events like these possible. NOTE: All street addresses are in Bellingham, unless noted otherwise. Phone number area codes are (360) unless noted otherwise.
