  3. City of Bellingham Municipal Code: 8.04.080 Prohibits overnight camping in any City Park, including Maritime Heritage.

  4. If you wish to hold your event on an ongoing basis, we recommend you select a location on private property. Most parks are closed at 10:00pm daily. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at 778-7000.

  6. Yes, but these events must be held on a permitted/reservation basis. Regarless, overnight camping is illegal in any City Park.

  7. We have been in contact with the Mayor, who said that even though he can't offer us a permit, he's told the police not to disturb our camp as long as it is peaceful and orderly.
