Lummi Island Regulations
Vacation rentals are permitted as accessory uses under Whatcom County RR‑I zoning, but operators must obtain a county vacation rental permit and may need additional shoreline or conditional use permits; state business licensing, transient accommodation taxes, safety inspections, and neighborhood standards apply; no explicit caps but performance rules limit intensity—overall a known, manageable process with moderate burden.

About Lummi Island
Lummi Island lies at the southwest corner of Whatcom County, Washington, United States, between the mainland part of the county and offshore San Juan County. The Lummi Indian Reservation is situated on a peninsula east of the island, but it does not include Lummi Island. The island has a land area of 23.97 square kilometres (9.25 square miles) and had a population of 822 as of the 2000 census. The population nearly doubles in summer when second-home owners from Canada and the U.S. arrive for the summer months. The island is accessible by a 20-car ferry, the Whatcom Chief, run by Whatcom County Public Works. It is a 6-minute passage from Gooseberry Point on the mainland to the island. Public education for island residents is provided by the Ferndale School District. It operates one elementary school (K-5) on the island, Beach Elementary School. Middle and high school students must travel to attend schools on the mainland.
