Tide to Table 2026 with Working Waterfront Coalition of Whatcom County

Working Waterfront Coalition of Whatcom County’s 8th annual Tide-to-Table Dinner celebrates the Salish Sea and everyone who works in, on, and around our waters! This year, you're cordially invited to their annual dinner and celebration, happening Saturday, April 25th at 5:30pm at the Bellingham Yacht Club

Get ready to rock the yacht at the Bellingham Yacht Club and cozy up to a delicious seafood boil by Drayton Harbor Oyster Company. They'll have hors d'oeuvres by local Bellingham Dockside Market vendors, drinks and Yacht-Rock music jamming as you peruse the exciting dessert dash confections from across Whatcom County, and the live auction items that will go to lucky bidders during the dinner. You'll feast the Salish Sea, and support our working waterfronts at the same time. Like the appetizers? 

This event benefits the Working Waterfront Coalition, a member-based organization, governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and several working committees, all working on behalf of all our waterfront businesses and interests to ensure that our region’s waterfronts remain accessible to the marine trades that helped build our region, our culture, and our heritage.

Along with an exciting auction for the evening, we will also raise our paddle to the Working Waterfront Foundation that addresses members’ need for a trained workforce so they can sustain and expand their businesses. The Apprenticeship and Pre-Apprenticeship Programs, both state-registered, allow apprentices to receive living wages while training and studying in the marine technician field. Proceeds from the Raise-the-Paddle portion of the evening directly support these comprehensive workforce training programs, and other work the Foundation does.

Tickets and information are available online.
