Welcome!
We are a diverse group of spiritual seekers. All are invited to join us in worship.
New to Quakers? Click here for more information about us.
Meeting for worship: Sunday 10:00 a.m.
We meet in the Creekside Bldg., 1701 Ellis St. in Bellingham, WA.
Directions:
- If coming from the north on I-5, take State St./Ohio St (exit 254) onto Ohio St and continue about a half mile to Ellis St (one block past Franklin St). Turn left on Ellis St for less than two blocks and the Creekside Bldg will be the last building on your right.
- If coming from the south on I-5, take the Iowa St. exit (254) and turn left onto Iowa St. Continue about 3 blocks to N. State St (one block past King St) and turn left. In just over a block turn right onto Ohio and continue 3 1/2 blocks and turn left onto Ells St (one block past Frankin St). In less than two blocks, the Creekside Bldg will be the last building on your right.
ATTENTION: At last check, MapQuest and Google Maps have separate errors. Please note that while Ellis St runs into N State St just north of York St, one cannot turn left from N State onto Ellis from the south, nor turn left from Ellis onto N State from the south. Instead, continue north on N State St, turn left on Franklin St, left on Kansas St, and left on Ellis St. (From the north one CAN make a sharp right turn onto Ellis from N State.)

Wow! This is great, John. Thank you.
It is really easy to find useful information – and it is soooo pretty!
I would change a couple of small things. Dark blue headings are difficult to discern on a black background. The light blue works well. The log-in picture of an open gate is an improvement over the previous padlock! That tree in the last sliding panel: you could find something better. Otherwise, the site is amazingly attractive, stunning in design, impressive in ease of use and filled with information that is nicely laid out and easy to access. John Hatten, you have done something remarkable with an already great site: Quaker artistry!
Looking forward to M4W4B tomorrow. Glad to see changes to website. We all move forward.
Alice
Done! Great suggestion.
One more suggestion: flip the order of Comments, so the most recent comment is at the top.
Oh – an afterthought – I know the calendar is included in the “About Us” window, but this is not an obvious place for a user to find it. I do think “About Us” should include a map to the meeting location – I.e. who, where, what information.
Then a separate window for “Calendar of Events”.
I would not put the log in window at the top of the home page – it is not clear what you need to log in for…
Suddenly I am getting ideas about how to make the site more intuitive from a user’s viewpoint. … Sorry these are so late in coming… but I do have more if it is still possible to make changes.

I would love to use this web site to check what is happening during second hour each sunday – but I can’t find that information. The metamorphosis (even if it were up to date) is way to long and difficult to navigate to obtain information in a hurry. I suggest that we add a calendar window at the top of the home page.
Thanks much,Judy
friends … i love you. i always enjoy sitting at monthly meeting, in the silence. i have always felt blessed that friends have always welcomed my atheist’s heart & mind in return for my spiritual company.
i first attended a quaker event at the nascent northwest yearly meeting in 1979. in these years, as i’ve lost respect for most institutions around our national culture , i still cherish friends. in 32 years … sitting on the regional executive committee and regional peace committee of american friends service committee, and spending 3 weeks at the quaker retreat center at pendle hill in pennsylvania, attending friday afternoon peace vigils in downtown bellingham, i have lots of exeprience from which to say that friends are among the truly holy communities.
i am visiting your website for the first time and i’ll admit that i surprised by the limited access to site pages that permeates your site, and the seeming insistence on membership for access. for me quakers include openness as part of the essential part of being friends.
in any case … i love you. thanks for being who you are … don vanvalkenburgh

Wow this looks great! I didn’t even know it was there! I love Judy’s bright orange sweater!
Dear Friend,
I met a Quaker woman last Friday in Bellingham at the anti-war gathering. She invited me to Sunday worship. You may have heard her mention me. In which case I would appreciate if you would reassure her that I did not get lost – she feared I would have a hard time finding the place that you meet – It was just that I was unable to attend due to my daughter’s workshop schedule.
Warm regards,
P.S. I too say this is a beautiful website!

I a a member of the RSOF in Canada (Vancouver BC MM) formerly of Birmingham Friends Meeting in Great Britain.
It is perhaps too far for me to travel to Vancouver for Meeting for Worship. Would I be welcome? (I winter in Mazatlan, Mexico with my Non Friend wife.)
I am somewhat isolated here in Fort Langley BC, and would welcome an occasional opportunity to worship.
Yours in Peace,
Michael
