The Inn at Lynden Historic hospitality in comfort and style. The Inn at Lynden makes its home in the historic Waples Mercantile Building, formerly the Lynden Department Store. Mr.

For nearly a century, The Lynden Department Store was the gathering place, and the market place, of the Lynden farming community. The store was owned and built by Billy Waples, one of the original founding fathers of Lynden. Waples was instrumental in bringing the railroad, power and light and the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds to Lynden. His contributions to the history of Lynden, along with the significance of this iconic building, have attracted the attention of the National Park Service. They have deemed the building worthy of inclusion onto the National Registry of Historic Places, where it now resides with similar landmark structures across the United States. And, now you can reside there, in comfort and style, while enjoying truly historic hospitality.

Our walls have something new to say.

We’re delighted to welcome the work of Mary Youngblood to the Inn as our newest featured artist, in partnership with the Jansen Art Center.

Mary’s colorful, whimsical paintings are inspired by memories, places, books, history, and moments from her own life. Rather than carefully planning each piece, she enjoys discovering where a painting will take her, creating work that tells a story and, in her words, brings “contemplative joy” to the viewer.

Next time you’re at the Inn, take a few moments to wander through our lobby and public spaces and enjoy Mary’s work up close.
