Brewing Sustainability: Solar at Woods Coffee, Boulevard Park

Picture this: you’re sipping your morning latte at Woods Coffee’s Boulevard Park location, watching boats drift across Bellingham Bay, when you realize the electricity powering your coffee experience is coming directly from the sun above.
In 2018, Woods Coffee made this vision reality. Working with the City of Bellingham, who owns the Boulevard Park property, they created a solar project that proved public and private partnerships can drive meaningful environmental progress without sacrificing the customer experience locals love.

The installation showcased something uniquely Bellingham: Silfab Solar panels manufactured right here in town, installed by a local solar company, powering a beloved community gathering spot. This full circle of local expertise created clean energy while supporting our local economy at every level.

Today, as customers enjoy their drinks under the Bellingham sun, they’re witnessing clean energy in action. The system generates electricity silently and efficiently, contributing to the community’s broader sustainability goals while seamlessly integrating with the waterfront’s beloved aesthetic.

Woods Coffee didn’t just install solar panels—they demonstrated how great coffee, community spaces, and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
