About the Board

The Columbia Neighborhood Association is organized for the purpose of providing and promoting a sense of community within the Columbia Neighborhood of Bellingham, Washington, to work closely with governmental entities to address concerns of the neighborhood.

These include:

• promoting the interest of the Columbia Neighborhood in matters of land use, zoning and other law
• rules or regulations which affect the quality of life, neighborhood amenities, character of the neighborhood, and public safety
• issues of design standards in relationship to the character of the neighborhood
• to provide an open forum for all residents to meet and discuss issues with due regard to the rights of minority opinion and free speech for all

How to get involved
