Water damage forces closure of Revenue's Bellingham office

OLYMPIA – Dec. 22, 2016 – The Washington State Department of Revenue (Revenue) is temporarily unable to assist businesses at its location on Humboldt Street in Bellingham. The office sustained severe water damage last weekend, and the office is closed to the public for the near future.

With the office temporarily closed and the next tax deadline coming on Tuesday, Dec. 27, Revenue wants businesses to know where they can receive assistance:
 

• File taxes using the secure, free E-file system
• Call a tax specialist at 360-705-6705
• Use Live Chat (available when icon is visible here)
• Visit another Revenue office

Mail tax returns and payments to:

Washington State Department of Revenue
P.O. Box 47464
Olympia, WA 98504-7464

The Bellingham office normally offers in-person assistance at its front counter, from accepting applications and renewals for required state and local licenses to collecting tax payments and assisting with audit questions.

The state Department of Labor and Industries has offices in Bellingham and Mt. Vernon that can offer some limited business licensing assistance during Revenue’s closure.

Information about the closure and tax and licensing resources for businesses offered by Revenue is posted on this webpage.
