We are thrilled to announce the launch of the LGBTQIA2S+ Business Directory, in partnership with PFLAG Bellingham/Whatcom & Bellingham Regional Chamber of Commerce, a comprehensive resource designed to provide safe spaces for queer individuals and elevate local queer-owned businesses in Whatcom and Skagit counties.
Why We Created This Directory
