Parking: Mt. Vernon to Bellingham, WA

I and a few others will be heading to Vancouver Island in just under two weeks. The logistics may work out such that we’ll need to park a car (quite likely with a kayak on top) somewhere along I-5, preferably in the Mt. Vernon/Burlington area (but even Bellingham would work). If this happens, we’d need to stash the car for about 12 days.



Anyone have an idea for a safe option? If so, feel free to shoot me a private message.



Thanks!

How about
the Haggen parking lot off I-5? Bet they’d let you if you asked. It’s huge, never full, and the store is open 24 hours. Exit 230, if memory serves.

Try Anacortes
I suggest talking to the kayak outfitter in Anacortes (can’t remember the name) - maybe they would let you park your car and boat where they keep their fleet for a fee. Or maybe even pay to park at a marina in the area - it would have to be better than leaving it fully unattended.

Don’t forget your passport

Thanks all! We also posted to a Bellingham paddling group. We’ve received at least three offers of driveway space!



Thanks again!
