Bus Rentals for Personnel Transfers to JBLM, NAS Whidbey Island, and Naval Station Everett
Your unit or agency doesn't always have the luxury of a flexible schedule, and the I-5 corridor south of Bellingham doesn't always cooperate. Joint Base Lewis-McChord sits approximately 145 miles south — about two hours and fifteen minutes in off-peak conditions, longer during Seattle-area rush hours. Naval Station Everett and NAS Whidbey Island are each roughly 85 miles south, with NAS Whidbey requiring SR-20 through the Skagit Valley and across Deception Pass Bridge.
A full-size charter bus handles the distance with reclining seats, climate control, onboard WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays for gear and duffels — so your personnel arrive ready, not worn out from a caravan of government vehicles. Compare available buses and pricing for your route through Bellinghamcharterbusservices.com in under 30 seconds!
JBLM access is the part to solve before the miles: if no adult DoD ID cardholder rides in the vehicle, your bus must report to the Lewis Main Visitor Control Center off I-5 Exit 120 or the McChord Field Main Gate at I-5 Exit 125 for a temporary pass. Put the correct gate in the route before departure, and your bus reaches the installation with the access stop built into the movement. JBLM visitor and gate information carries the current gate locations and access instructions.
Shuttle Buses for Bellingham's Federal Border Corridor
Forget piecing together transportation across Whatcom County's busy border corridor with a mix of government vehicles and rideshares. Bellingham is the last major U.S. city before the Canadian border, and federal and law enforcement personnel regularly move between CBP stations in Blaine, Lynden, and Sumas — plus the Peace Arch Port of Entry at 9 Peace Portal Dr, Blaine, WA 98230, just 25 miles north of downtown Bellingham. A minibus or sprinter van keeps your team together, on schedule, and moving efficiently between facilities without the coordination headache of multiple vehicles.
Through Bellinghamcharterbusservices.com, you can compare buses sized for small interagency teams all the way up to large group movements, with instant online pricing and no account required. Call 360-594-3150 to build a custom route for your corridor!

Yes, and a 56-passenger charter bus is the right tool for it. JBLM is approximately 145 miles south of Bellingham — about two hours and fifteen minutes each way via I-5 in off-peak conditions, longer through the Seattle metro during morning and afternoon rush. A full-size motorcoach with reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage bays handles the distance comfortably for large personnel movements.
Book well in advance for peak travel windows, and build buffer time for I-5 congestion between Everett and Tacoma.
NAS Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor is approximately 85 miles from Bellingham — about one hour and forty-five minutes via I-5 south to SR-20 west, crossing Deception Pass Bridge onto Whidbey Island. A minibus or charter bus keeps your team together on that route rather than splitting into multiple government vehicles. Washington State Ferries also connect Anacortes (approximately 45 miles south of Bellingham) to Clinton on Whidbey Island, which some groups use for flexibility.

At BLI, the marked Shuttle Bus Passenger Pick Up Location is separate from the terminal's Free 30 Minute Loading/Unloading Parking Lot, so your charter bus can use the bus pickup point for a coordinated arrival instead of treating short-term vehicle parking as the passenger meet spot. Bellingham International Airport ground-transportation staging map shows both locations.
