The Bellingham Sportsman Club is a longstanding institution in Bellingham, Washington, established in 1926. Originally founded to promote responsible hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation, the club has evolved over the decades. While continuing its traditional activities – including maintaining shooting ranges and hosting hunter education courses – it now also functions as a multi-purpose event venue. The club's facilities include both indoor and outdoor spaces capable of accommodating various events. It’s become increasingly known for hosting musical performances spanning multiple genres, particularly those that benefit from a less conventional or intimate setting than larger concert halls provide. The venue is located on Marine Drive overlooking Bellingham Bay.
