About the host

Hosted by Kevin Weisenbloom

Host profile image
our mid 30's. I grew up in Bellingham and couldn't be more grateful to have been raised in such a special place. Nothing has given me as much purpose as helping people improve their lives. I enjoy connecting with people and inspiring partnerships to find creative solutions to important social issues. After graduating WWU for public health I worked as a grant writer, firefighter, health education specialist and fitness studio owner. I followed my passion for building community here by helping to organize the Ski to Sea race this year. I also currently work as a realtor and find joy in building relationships, excitement, continuous learning and problem solving involved in the job. Kevin grew up in Massachusetts and discovered Bellingham at the end of a long road trip. His background is in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology and he now works as a factory technician at a local bike company. Our happy place is being out in nature together and going to community races and events. We love to mountain bike, run, rock climb, cook new recipes, play pickleball, hang out with friends & family, and explore all the beautiful areas nearby including the San Juan Islands, Cascade Mountains, Squamish and North Vancouver in British Columbia. We love helping others enjoy all the amazing adventures the PNW has to offer.

As a host, I prioritize excellent communication and strive to provide you with the best local knowledge during your stay. I'm more than happy to share information on mountain bike trails, restaurants, breweries, and other exciting activities and attractions in the area. Whether you're an avid cyclist seeking thrilling trails or a food enthusiast eager to explore the local culinary scene, I'll ensure you have all the information you need.
