Bellingham Cohousing is a living situation that requires
considerable neighbor participation. If you are new to cohousing
we strongly recommend that you do your homework before deciding
to move here. Bellingham Cohousing residents may dedicate as much
as 20 hours per month attending committee meetings, planning
meals and community activities, and working on community
projects.
Although Bellingham Cohousing is a supportive community, it is
not designed or intended to be an environment for individuals
needing therapeutic levels of attention or care.
Whether you are new to Bellingham, or new to Bellingham Cohousing,
