Nestled in the northwest corner of Washington state, Transition Whatcom’s VISION is resilient and more self-reliant communities throughout Whatcom County with a local food supply, sustainable energy sources, a healthy local economy, and a growing sense of vitality and community well-being.

The MISSION of Transition Whatcom is: 1) To explore and then follow pathways of practical actions that will reduce our carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. 2) To rebuild our community’s resilience, that is, its ability to withstand shocks from the outside, through being more self-reliant in areas such as food, energy, health care, jobs and economics. 3) To inspire and support the communities and neighborhoods of Whatcom County as they work towards resilience at these local levels.
