Share Shack 2024

The Share Shack is a local project built with support from the City of Bellingham’s Small and Simple Grant on the corner of Connecticut and Henry streets.

Share Shack 2024

Let’s do “Pop-ups”!  A Pop-up is a short-term activity designed to be fun, easy to do, build community and with easy cleanup.  Anyone can request to use the space (similar to reserving the park spaces) for free and, upon approval, use it to create a neighborhood activity.

How it will work

The share shack will have a sign up sheet to reserve the space.   If requested and approved, the event will be put on the neighborhood calendar.

On the morning of the pop-up event, a member of the board will unlock the gate and close back up at the end of the day.

The person reserving the space will be responsible for clean-up and returning the share shack to clean condition for the next person to use.

To reserve the Share Shack for your pop-up activity, email us at columbianeighborhood@gmail.com
