MT. BAKER CHAMBER

Supporting Businesses & Facilitating Community Development

Mt. Baker Chamber

The Mt. Baker Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1982 to support business and build community in the East Whatcom region of Whatcom County in Washington State. Membership is offered to businesses, as well as residents, interested in supporting local businesses and Chamber projects.

In acknowledgment of the many amazing people in our community that re members or allies of the LGBTQ+ community, and to actively resist bigotry, hate and the marginalization of any member of our community. We wish to make it clear that:

We believe, Black Lives Matter, No Human is Illegal, Love is Love, Women’s Rights are Human Rights, Science is Real, and that Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere.
