Whatcom County Bar Association

Welcome

The Whatcom County Bar Association (WCBA) draws its members from the legal community in and around Bellingham, Washington. WCBA exists to promote the administration of justice, to cultivate goodwill among its members and the community, and to support the continuing education goals of its members.

The Bar Association currently holds meetings the first Wednesday of the Month, once each quarter (March, June, September, and December), featuring keynote speakers, CLEs, and historically social events. For more information, visit the events page, or sign up for our email list below. The meetings are held at Noon at the Bellingham Yacht Club, located at 2625 S Harbor Loop Dr, Bellingham, and Lunch is included for current members.

WCBA meetings are open to anyone interested in the goings-on of our legal community or a particular presentation or speaker. Non-members and guests please bring $20.00 cash or check to cover lunch.

Members of the bar association receive the Whatcom County Bar Journal via email each quarter, containing meeting news, court information, editorials, feature articles, and advertisements. To find out about joining, click here. Members are able to set up a profile so other legal professionals and prospective clients can find contact information and information about their practice areas.

WCBA offers Continuing Legal Education seminars approximately twice per year developed specifically to meet the needs of the local legal community. See the events page for upcoming CLEs.

How to set up your member profile

10/26/2023 1:49 PM | Anonymous

If you recently signed up for membership online, you had the opportunity to set up a username and password. This allows you access to your member profile for set up and ongoing administration.

For those of you whose names were manually entered into the new system by the WCBA executive committee, follow these steps to set up your profile:

On the top right of our website click "Login."

Scroll down to the bottom and click "Forgot Password."

Next, enter your email address and click "Submit."

You will receive an email with a link to set a password.

Once your password is set, you can login and set up your member profile.

Our member profiles will allow our colleagues and members of the public to more easily locate local attorneys and identify judicial officers.

Let me know if you have any questions,
