Delivery to Blaine
We set the delivery fee by address when we confirm your quote. It depends on distance, how much goes on the truck and how easy the site is to reach. Long gravel driveways, gates, steps and soft ground are worth mentioning when you book.
Our trucks come north on I-5 and stay on the US side; the Peace Arch crossing is passenger traffic only, and commercial vehicles use the Pacific Highway crossing on SR 543. For a home on Drayton Harbor or Semiahmoo Bay, tell us where a truck can park on your street.

Planning an Event in Blaine
- Early August is festival weekend. The Drayton Harbor Maritime Festival takes over the Blaine Harbor Boating Center at 235 Marine Drive on an early August weekend, with a pirate parade, vendors and, in some years, the Lady Washington tall ship docked at the harbor. If your event is near Marine Drive that weekend, expect festival traffic and parking pressure.
- State park permits take 60 days. Washington State Parks treats weddings and company picnics as Special Activities that need a permit, with a $45 application fee and applications due at least 60 days ahead. Late requests may be delayed or denied, so book the permit before you book the tent.
- Border waits for Canadian guests. WSDOT lists both the Peace Arch crossing on I-5 and the Pacific Highway crossing on SR 543 as open 24 hours a day. Guests driving down from British Columbia should check WSDOT's posted waits before they leave and allow extra time on a holiday weekend.
Before You Book
- If the event is at Peace Arch, submit the Special Activities Permit at least 60 days out and ask the park about tents.
- If guests are coming from British Columbia, have them check WSDOT's posted border wait times; NEXUS lanes into Canada run 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Peace Arch and Pacific Highway.
- Tell us whether your street leads onto SR 543 or Marine Drive so we can plan the approach.
- Check whether your date overlaps the Drayton Harbor Maritime Festival if you are near Marine Drive.
Common Questions
Do you deliver to Blaine?
Yes. Blaine is in Whatcom County, inside our delivery area. Delivery starts at $50 and is set by address on your quote, before you pay anything.
Is tent setup included?
Yes. Our crew sets up and takes down every tent. Staking or weights are priced by the ground at your site.
How long is a rental?
One rental price covers up to 3 days, so most customers have delivery the day before and pickup the day after. Restroom trailers are priced per day.
Can we hold our wedding at Peace Arch with a BellEvent tent?
The park's American Kitchen is listed for weddings and receptions, but any wedding needs a State Parks Special Activities Permit, applied for at least 60 days ahead. Ask the park whether rented tents are allowed on the grounds; once they approve, send us the spot they name.
Will border lines affect our setup?
Our trucks do not cross the border, and we set up before guests arrive. Guests driving down from Canada should plan for the crossing: WSDOT posts current waits online and on signs along I-5 north of Bellingham.
Can a restroom trailer go at a Blaine waterfront home?
It needs an outdoor outlet (ideally its own breaker), a garden hose connection, level ground and a route at least 8 ft wide for a 2-stall or 9 ft for a 3-stall. On a sloped harbor lot, send photos of the driveway so we can check the route.
