I had a delightful one-day visit to Bellingham over the weekend. I want to go back soon, but I'd like to know if there's a hostel or something similar in the area... there are hostels in Portland and Seattle, of course... and also in Eugene and Ashland... but an online search didn't turn up anything in Bellingham.

There is a hostel in Blaine: Birch Bay Hostel.

AirBnb has rooms for rent (shared bath) starting at ~$50/night.

There are some inexpensive hotels/motels: $63-75/night.

AirBnBs in Bellingham are only legal if it is a room in a residence, and not a free-standing apartment with its own bath and mini-kitchen.

Neighbors are pretty angry at the AirBnb hosts who flaunt this law. Rental housing market is hugely tight. Not a fun situation for you to stay in an illegal place.

If you find an AirBnb in Ferndale, there are no restrictions there.

Motel 6 in Bellingham and Ferndale are fine and on the cheaper end. Cheaper than Motel 6 would probably put you in a rent-by-the-week hotel with its usual problem with drug sales, etc.
