Case study: public relations

After nearly 30 years in downtown Bellingham, Mindport Exhibits made the difficult decision to permanently close in 2024. The science and art museum had long been a cherished part of the downtown Bellingham community—welcoming thousands of visitors, inspiring curiosity and fostering creativity.

To support a thoughtful and community-focused transition, Mindport’s executive director, Tallie Jones, partnered with Patti Goethals Rowlson of Bellingham PR & Communications in March 2024. Over the course of 13 months, Rowlson provided guidance and support to the organization, from preliminary strategy development through post-closure projects.

Case study: business sale

Thanks to a referral from another local business, Bellingham PR & Communications was hired to write, distribute and promote a press release advertising the impending retirement of the owners of Dave’s Sports Shop in Lynden. The release was also intended to let the public know that the business, while still operating as usual, was for sale. In time, the resulting media attention led to local buyers stepping forward. BPRC was then called on again to manage the timing of the second media release and guide the public relations process as the sale was being announced.
