Bellingham's Hotel Bellwether: No sales tax for British Columbia residents



If you're a BC resident and have a hankerin' to head south of the border, Bellingham's Hotel Bellwether is offering a No Sales Tax promotion to residents of British Columbia.

Simply put, you'll save 8.5% off the total cost of your room. As an added bonus, Washington state recently announced a sales tax exemption for non-residents, although it does not apply to lodging.

So that means you can shop at nearby Bellis Fair and Trader Joe's, sans sales tax, and then head to your room with a view at Hotel Bellwether, featuring fireplaces and jetted soaking tubs. Since I'm not much of a mall person, another fun shopping option is Bellingham's Fairhaven District for shopping, cuisine and history.

The Bellwether has two dining options on site: Harbourside Restaurant and Lounge, featuring west coast cuisine, and the Sunset Lounge for sunset for lighter fare, cocktails and sunsets over Bellingham Bay. Weather permitting, of course.
