MOVING DAY FOR THE WHATCOM HUMAN RIGHTS OFFICE
July 31st, Wednesday - final day
We'll be moving out of 1210 Indian Street slowly throughout the month of July.
Initially, here's the scoop -- We're moving from our present location at the end of July. The new space is located in the Bay Street Village, downtown Bellingham; it's small but it's our new home.That's the basement of the Blue Horse Gallery, near Stuart's Coffeehouse! Parking is available just behind the building so stop by and say "hey, howdy". We're wheel-chair accessable from the Bay Street parking lot entrance, and we are also right at the bottom of the stairs off Holly Street!
• More details and an open-house-party are on the horizon.
• Our phone, P.O. Box, and email will stay the same. See[Contacts Page]
New location:
310 West Holly #D19
Bellingham, WA 98225
