"Our hope is that our future home can be a visionary force that honors our homeland," Squil-le-he-le
Raynell Morris (Lummi), Setting Sun Circle Events and Gatherings Producer.
We see Setting Sun Circle being a space where we can share our ways of knowing with the whole community and bridge the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. As we do this work, we can build the kind of unity we all need to heal.
Join us in our journey to open Setting Sun Circle in downtown Bellingham!

If you're enjoying a bike ride through Bellingham, take the Salish Tribute bike trail curated by BIKE Bellingham! 🚲
The 25-mile route winds past 18 public art installations across the city honoring the history, art and ongoing stewardship of the Coast Salish peoples.
The route includes a stop at our future home, Setting Sun Circle on Holly St. in downtown Bellingham, where the Coast Salish Living Mural adorns the alley side of our space!

Wildfires continue to rip through our state of Washington. The devastation will be felt for a long time to come. Our hearts and prayers are with our friends and relatives in Colville, Spokane, Yakama and all those affected in the surrounding communities – including members of our staff and Setting Sun family.
We send our gratitude to the first responders, Tribal and community leaders, and the everyday heroes taking care of the people. The work to lift them up is not done.
We'd like to share relief funds and volunteer signups gathered by members of our team and network, if you are capable of supporting.
Hy'shqe for your prayers and love.
