Western Washington U - Bellingham

Western Washington University - Bellingham, WA

The last 2 weekends in July are penciled in for our 2016 reunion.







Practical stuff first!
Clean suite style rooms w/ semi-private bathrooms; for double occupancy about $34.75 per night per person (includes linens)
Meal service costs:
   $7.88 breakfast
   $10.41 lunch
   $12.05 dinner
(The above 2014 room prices will probably increase each year there after by 3% and the meal  prices will also increase a little).
We will have a large common area to gather.

Now the fun stuff!
We've been to WWU twice before so many of you know the conveniences & benefits of this facility:
·         It's a beautiful campus! And it's grown and improved since we were last there.
·         There is an amazing new recreation area w/ a large swimming pool, weights, indoor track, basketball courts, hot tub, and rock climbing wall available to guests for $7 a day. There are also tennis courts and field space.
·         And that's just the university amenities!
·         Bellingham has the bay, the harbor, ferries, lakes, parks, trails and creeks just minutes away.
·         Historic Fairhaven and the quaint downtown area offer unique shopping, museums, restaurants and pubs.
·         AND there's Mt. Baker with Artist's Point, and so many amazing hiking trails!
·         You can fly into Bellingham Airport and be at the university in 15 minutes or fly into the Vancouver BC Airport with an hour drive to Bellingham (or perhaps a fun stop in the international city of Vancouver) OR fly into Seattle and be in Bellingham 2 hours later.
·         Lovely daytime temperatures of 70 -80 degrees with perhaps occasional light rain to make sure we stay beautifully green!
·         Possible picnic/BBQ music and outdoor fun across the street from Lake Padden, hosted by the Youngs.
·         It’s time for a reunion in the region where the majority of our family members live!
