The Bellingham Plan Boardgame: Available to Play!
Growing Together, Building Bellingham
Boardgames are available to borrow, allowing you to dig into how you think Bellingham should grow over time. This is a fun way to get involved, and you can bring your friends to the party! Materials are posted on this page (at right on desktop, below on mobile) in case anything is missing/illegible from your game when you borrow it.
You can borrow the game through the library system or directly from staff. If you borrow it from staff, please return it to the Permit Center at City Hall (open Mon, Tues, Thurs 8:30am – 3:30pm / Wed 9:30am – 3:30pm) or contact staff at theBellinghamPlan@cob.org to connect. You can also find the boardgame at the following locations, to be played on site (not available to borrow):
Once you have finished playing the boardgame, take a moment with your team to submit a photo of your board and (optionally) a few comments about your reasoning and experience playing the game.
