Delivery to Sumas
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.
We come in on SR 9 through Nooksack, or from the Mount Baker Highway on SR 547, an 11-mile valley route from Kendall. When the Nooksack spills over at Everson, the water can run north toward Sumas, so check for road closures before a late fall or winter event.

Planning an Event in Sumas
- Sumas Community Days in late June. Community Days brings a Saturday parade at 11 a.m., a vendor fair, a softball tournament and fireworks at the baseball fields on a late June weekend. Avoid parade morning for a downtown delivery.
- No open fires in town. Sumas prohibits outdoor burning inside city limits except recreational fires in designated fire pits under the county Fire Marshal's rules. Our own rule is stricter: heaters are never used under or near a tent, only in the open air.

- Check Community Days weekend in late June.
- Tell guests from Canada that NEXUS hours into Canada at Sumas are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
