Established in 1997, Blue Skies for Children is a nonprofit organization based in Bellingham, WA, dedicated to providing educational, recreational, and cultural opportunities, and other essentials for children and families in Whatcom and Skagit Counties. We are committed to empowering all children to reach their full potential. 

Wines of Whatcom is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the unique and diverse wines produced in Whatcom and Skagit Counties. Our mission is to support local wineries and foster a vibrant wine community.

 

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
