In 2020, the Port of Bellingham, owner and operator of Bellingham International Airport, completed a terminal-wide project to upgrade all public restrooms to touchless technology. The improvements included converting all sink faucets and toilets, along with the paper towel and soap dispensers, to hands-free touchless to better serve and protect our passengers, employees, and stakeholders from germs, bacteria, viruses and other touch transmissible pathogens.

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.
