Bellingham Queer Collective - BQC Center

The Bellingham Queer Collective runs the BQC Center at 310 West Champion Street, in the 100 Prospect Building downtown. It opened in 2024 and calls itself the first nonprofit LGBTQ+ community centre between Seattle and the Canadian border. It has quickly become the main hub for queer community life in Whatcom County. The programme includes weekday drop-in and co-working hours, Thursday game nights, Fun Fridays, a Queer Women's Group and the monthly PFLAG Bellingham meeting. BQC also runs an 18+ space with Northwest Youth Services' Q Center on Commercial Street. Check bellinghamqueercollective.org for current times.
