PLEASE NOTE: In its first incarnation WCN was a membership organization, and we are currently re-evaluating developing a membership program as part of re-starting WCN. The following organizations were formerly members of WCN until 2002.

At this time WCN is not updating this list, but in partnership with the Whatcom Community Foundation, WCN will provide a new website where you will be able to post your organization's information. Look for this new feature-rich resource in mid-2008.
