Second Wake Up is a fantastic place for transitional housing for those seeking long term recovery. My son lived there for 3 months and my fiance for 7 years. Second Wake Up provided a safe place to discover God, recovery and community all while maintaining accountability for addiction. The homes are beautiful and well maintained. There's a community garden and events throughout the year that encourages families to attend. It's location with within walking distance of the downtown bus station and several NA or AA meeting in the area. I spent a lot of time in the last 5 years getting to know Andy, Lance and Colleen while spending time with my future husband as well as getting to know the other community members. I highly recommend Second Wake Up to those wanting a head start in strong recovery.

A safe place to be! Around people who lift each other up, while being supportive, understanding influential members of the community. I have nothing negative to say or anything I would change about how things are set up around here, you create your reality it is what you make it! This place gives you a foundation to stand on.

A reputable program of sobriety, faith, accountability and freedom to be yourself in recovery. Affordable, clean and extremely well maintained. Homes full of like minded individuals from all walks of life; coming together as basically our own community, within Bellingham proper. Close to all the things that matter in your recovery journey. Churches, meeting halls, grocery stores, doctors offices, government buildings and the like. This is a firm foundation for anyone serious about their recovery journey and I would recommend that anyone give it a try and take it seriously, one day at a time. Your life really can be put back together if you want it bad enough and Second Wakeup House really extends that helping hand of opportunity. Shout out to the wonderful owners for providing this much needed resource in our community. I genuinely appreciate them and look forward to my continued recovery in their program.

The properties are very well maintained. I feel safe and look forward to staying here for some time. I highly recommend anyone in recovery whom may be looking for a great recovery experience to consider Second WakeUp.

I was nervous when considering moving into a clean and sober house. I feel lucky to have the opportunity to live here. Extremely welcoming, can’t beat the location, and affordable for a shared or single room. Highly recommend! Thank you Second WakeUp!

A Sanctuary in the Heart of Bellingham: A Review of Second Wakeup House** If you are seeking a recovery environment that perfectly balances structure, safety, and a deep connection to nature, **Second Wakeup House** in Bellingham is a standout choice. This faith-structured 12-step recovery home provides more than just a place to stay—it provides a community where men can truly flourish. **Peaceful Surroundings & Premier Location** Located in a quiet pocket near downtown Bellingham, the property offers a rare mix of convenience and tranquility. It is an easy **10-minute walk to the WTA station**, making transportation seamless, and it is surrounded by numerous 12-step meetings within walking distance. One of the most unique features is the natural beauty right outside the windows. Residents often enjoy views of a peaceful stream and frequent visits from local wildlife, including squirrels, various birds, and a family of deer—complete with does, fawns, and the occasional jousting bucks. For those who love the outdoors, the house is close to fantastic local spots like **Cornwall Memorial Park** for disc golf and the scenic **Taylor Dock boardwalk** along the bayfront. **Modern, Secure Living** The living arrangements are designed for both comfort and accountability: * **Comfortable Accommodations:** Rooms are limited to just **two people per room**, with beds and linens provided if needed. * **High-Tech Security:** Every resident has a **personalized pin code** to access their assigned floor, creating a strong and reassuring sense of personal security. * **Spacious Common Areas:** The house features large living rooms with TVs and a **fully equipped, clean kitchen** with plenty of storage for personal food. * **Stay Connected:** Free high-speed Wi-Fi makes it easy to stay in touch with family or handle personal business on your own devices. **Supportive Community & Approachable Leadership** The "vibe" at Second Wakeup House is one of genuine brotherhood. While there is a **required weekly Sunday meeting**, it is light-heartedly officiated and serves as a great way to stay connected with the house family. The leadership is exceptional—friendly, supportive, and they maintain an **"open door" policy**, making themselves available for questions whenever they are on-site. **The Verdict** With fair rent and a well-organized structure, Second Wakeup House is shared community living at its absolute best. It is a secure, spiritually grounded sanctuary in the Pacific Northwest for anyone dedicated to their recovery journey.

Second Wakeup gave me a place to stay while I was transitioning from a long term impatient. I needed a safe place to stay while I put together plans for permanent housing. The community here is great, people are focused on recovery and becoming spiritually sound with the guidance of Jesus. I moved up to Bellingham for a fresh start in my life hours away from home. I'm grateful Second Wakeup Opened their doors for me when I was in a vulnerable place. Though my stay was only a month, other men stay for years because of the positive community and great living conditions. This is a rare sober living and the best one I have been too. There's a program within the home. Accountability, stability and support. Highly recommend for anyone fresh out of treatment, detox or even people with some sobriety looking for a community and a place to rebuild. ✝️
