Lodging
On-Campus
In keeping with ResNet tradition, Western is offering low-cost, on-campus accommodations in our residence halls that combine convenience with social opportunities, supported by attendees staying in the same complex of buildings.
Fairhaven Complex Residence Halls
Located at the foot of the Sehome Hill Arboretum, the Fairhaven Complex is nestled in a lush green setting that is quintessential Pacific Northwest. Towering Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar, an assortment of deciduous trees and shrubs, surround and permeate the various buildings and courtyards.
Fairhaven is comprised of twelve residential stacks housing residents in single and double rooms, with a variety of housing options, from two bedroom apartments complete with a private balcony, to large suites with a common living room and bathroom. Thanks to our very mild summer temperatures, air conditioning is neither offered nor required.
Double room: $50.
Room Amenities
Bed linen, pillow, and towels will be provided, but attendees will need to bring their own toiletries (toothpaste, shaving cream, hair products, shampoo, soap, etc.)
All Fairhaven Complex rooms are equipped with data jacks, but attendees will have to bring their own Ethernet cable. There is WiFi available in the community building, and more detailed technology information is available on the About Western page.
Attendees wishing to arrive before the symposium or extend their stay in the area after the symposium, can stay on-campus. To make these arrangements, please contact us at: host@resnetsymposium.org
Alcohol Policy
Alcohol may not be consumed in public areas on campus, including residence hall lounges. Attendees 21 of age or older are allowed to consume alcohol in there residence hall rooms, but we ask all attendees to be mindful of noise levels and considerate of others who require quiet in order to sleep well.
There are many nightlife options in Bellingham that are relatively close to campus. As mentioned on our About Bellingham page, there are two town centers: Downtown and Fairhaven. We’ve set up an Exploring Bellingham forum on our Discussion Forums page, where attendees can coordinate nights out.
Off-Campus
There are a wide variety of hotel and motel options in the Bellingham area, many within a short bus ride or drive to campus, including:
