Paid Parking Coming to Fairhaven

Based on parking studies completed in the area and recommendations from the Fairhaven Parking Task Force, paid parking will be implemented in the Fairhaven business district. The fees and fines would be the same as all other paid parking in Bellingham. The proposed timeline is for enforcement to start in the spring of 2022.

Parking in Fairhaven has been a topic of community conversation for some time, which lead to the creation of the Fairhaven Parking Task Force in 2012. The Task Force was made up of representatives from surrounding neighborhoods, local merchants and transportation professionals.
