BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Wait times for COVID-19 test results in Whatcom County are getting shorter.

Northwest Laboratory, whose office is on the Guide in Bellingham, announced on Facebook this weekend that they are now a designated testing site.

They are one of three labs running COVID-19 tests in the state of Washington, alongside the University of Washington and the DOH Public Health Lab.

Northwest Laboratory says you should not come to the lab to be tested.

All orders and collections must come to them through your doctor.
