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 th

e 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.

Arch You Glad We Kept Them?

One of our favorite features in Room 7 isn't something we added—it's something we preserved.

These original arches have been part of the historic Waples Mercantile Building for generations. During the restoration, they were carefully retained, allowing a piece of the building's history to become part of every guest's stay.

Honoring the past while creating a comfortable, welcoming space for today is at the heart of what we do.
