There is on-site parking at the Bellingham Airport as well as off-site parking areas that have recently sprung up to help handle the surge in new passengers. At the terminal the parking is free for the first 30 minutes, $1.00 for the first 60 minutes and then each additional hour is another dollar. You can park there for 24 hours for $9.00. There are no multi story mega-parking lots  here--This is Bellingham where everything is a bit laid back and easier than in the big city.
