Our Bellingham car pool location is in a shared business parking lot area with Starbucks - 3101 Old Fairhaven Pkwy, on the SW corner of lot.

Take last south Freeway Exit #250 (Old Fairhaven Pkwy), turn right (west) onto Old Fairhaven Pkwy, and immediately turn right into parking area, or immediately right past Starbucks, and right again into parking area.

We leave 10:25 AM from that parking area to Burlington Haggen meet.
******************************************************************************
For those driving strait to meeting location:

Take I-5 exit 229 - the George Hopper Rd exit, take a left heading east over the Freeway, past Costco, straight through at the next light and upon the 1st Round About, do a 3/4 (left turn) through it. Look at our Meetup picture of Affinity Retirement Facility: it will quickly be on your right side. If parking is limited, there are businesses on the other side of road in the reverse direction from whence you came that has parking while they're mostly closed on Sundays.

Between 10:45 AM to 11:00 PM, there will be a member of our group (perhaps Everett?) who will let you in the locked door of the facility. If you come after that time, if someone isn't there at door, call Everett on his phone @ (360) 391-5435.

THANK YOU EVERETT HOBSON FOR FINDING THIS VENUE FOR US!

Skeptics meeting at Affinity Burlington
I have made inquiries regarding a suitable place for our monthly meetings. Responses have been slow and time consuming. Just in case I don’t find a more suitable place.—-
I have reserved the family dining room on the second floor of the Affinity building for every second Sunday for the months of November, December, January and February. from 10:30 to 1:30.

The address is:
1660 S Walnut Street
Burlington, Washington
98233

Take the George Hopper exit off of I5, head East - cross Burlington Blvd, continue East then left at the Round About. This puts you on Walnut Street. In About 2 blocks you will see the building shown. If the parking lot is full you can park on the street.
It’s a limited access building. If you arrive between 10:45 and 11:00 a fellow resident skeptic will let you in. Just past the lobby is a hallway , at either end of the hallway is an elevator. The family dining room is on the second floor.
If you have any problems contact Everett Hobson at 360-391-5435.
We look forward to seeing you.

We encourage attendees to share their life story that lead their journey to the 'Land of Freethought', Free Inquiry and Skepticism towards cultural norms, traditions and stories.

Freethought encourage creative solutions, but then this group uses reason, evidence and the scientific method as the only reliable means to prune down answers to our probing questions and common sense solutions to humanity's current problems.
