New Location and Driving Route for COVID-19 Testing Site at Bellingham International Airport

The Whatcom County Health Department’s drive-through COVID-19 testing site at the Bellingham International Airport, operated through a partnership with Northwest Laboratory, has moved to a new location at the airport.

Previously located in Economy Lot A, the testing site now operates out of Economy Lot B, effective Wednesday, Nov. 17. The testing site has moved to accommodate the airport’s needs as it makes room for the addition of Southwest Airlines.

Economy Lot B is accessible via Bennet Drive and Bakerview Road. Drivers seeking COVID-19 testing at the airport are asked to use this route to avoid causing congestion along Airport Way. Watch for signs posted along this route.

We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
