Community Boating Center - Bellingham

We’re so excited to debut our 2026 Community Boating Center art 🎉

This year’s design, created by Bellingham-based illustrator and artist Jim Dixon, reflects a deep connection to both fine art and nonprofit storytelling. From exhibiting across the Pacific Northwest to debuting in NYC and now serving as an Artist in Residence in the U.K., Jim brings a rich creative perspective to this year’s piece. We’re honored to collaborate with him!

Stay tuned: merch featuring the 2026 design will be hitting the waterfront desk soon 👀

& on opening weekend (May 2-3), we’ll have a limited edition coloring page calendar to track all your days on the water. FREE to the first 100 guests, and don’t forget to use the code FIRSTFLOAT for your 50% discount.

Here’s to a season of creativity, community, and time on the water 💙

Do you want this to be your office window? 🌊⛵️

Do you (or someone you know) have experience in office management or administrative systems? We’re looking for someone highly organized, detail-oriented, and excited to support the day-to-day operations that keep us afloat!

At CBC, you’re not just managing systems, you’re helping connect people to the water, build community, and expand access to the Salish Sea. 💙
