From the Port of Bellingham website:
Check the Bellingham Dockside Market Facebook page, Instagram, or newsletter prior to sale days to see which fishermen will be at the dock and what products will be available.
Head down to Squalicum Harbor and follow the signs to the market where fishermen await with their product! We set up outside at Gate 5 from June through October and inside the Fishermen’s Pavilion (2599 S. Harbor Loop Drive) from November through May.
Pick your seafood, pay the fishermen directly, and head home with your delicious catch.

FREE Scottish Country Dance Class
05/09/2026 - 10:00 am - 12:00 pm at Littlefield Celtic Center
1124 Cleveland Ave
You’re invited to a FREE Scottish Country Dance Class on Saturday, May 9th from 10am-12pm at the Littlefield Celtic Center in Mount Vernon.
SCD classes at Littlefield Celtic Center are general, multi-level sessions with some step practice and teaching of dances. Once we have a feeling for the make-up of the class, we’d like to focus on beginners and inexperienced dancers for the first 45 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of general social dancing for everyone, and we’ll end with 45 minutes of focus for more experienced dancers.
Beginners are most welcome; we would like to work using a building-block approach where we will review and build on skills learned in the previous class. The goals of RSCDS include “Fun, Fitness, Friendship.” If this sounds appealing, then SCD is for you! If you enjoy dancing socially to wonderful, traditional music, if you would like to try dancing in a team (set) with six or eight other dancers, if you think you might enjoy some energetic but graceful and elegant dancing—with a little bit of courtliness thrown in—then this is for you!
No partner or special clothing is needed. Loose and comfortable is the best. Women often wear skirts (not a requirement). Soft-soled shoes, such as ballet or jazz shoes allow you to move around the floor with ease and to point your toe, but don’t let that prevent you from giving SCD a try.
Bring a cheerful smile, a willingness to listen, and a desire to “have a go”! We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!
