If you visit Bellingham, you'd do well to visit one of the best brewpubs on the West Coast: Boundary Bay Brewery, home to award-winning IPAs (often available from the cask) and a surprisingly-solid menu.
With a university and proximity to Seattle and Vancouver, I'm not too surprised to see a nascent techie scene. A little stimulus would be good for the local economy, which has been quite depressed.

- codytruscott 12y agoLet this be a lesson to folks. Sales matters. The clear disdain, lack of respect, or perhaps just disinterest for building a solid sales process/pipeline at makerhaus led to it's demise.
- omegant 12y agoWhat are the economics of a makerspace? are they business, no profit or clubs?
- snarfy 12y agoUsually you pay membership fees in exchange for access to the tools and stuff.
- rtkwe 12y agoClubs mostly, generally the vast majority of Makerspaces' income is solely the membership dues. There are a handful that are run more like businesses. Techshop is one and there's non profits like The Geek Group up in Michigan which has full time employees and a goal of each department/lab paying for it's own existence. Probably more but those are the ones I know of.
