Dec. 17—BELLINGHAM — The majority of the record 30 people staying at Whatcom County's COVID-19 quarantine and isolation facility are from homeless communities, according to the county.
Exactly how many people linked to two homeless communities are staying at the facility wasn't known, according to Amy Cloud, spokesperson for Whatcom Unified Command.
The quarantine and isolation facility at the former Motel 6 on Byron Avenue in Bellingham was opened in late April by unified command, the multi-governmental agency that's directing local COVID-19 pandemic response.
