About
The Washington State Bed and Breakfast Guild (WBBG) was formed by 50 charter members in 1986. This group's concept for the Guild was to provide an information network throughout the state for member B&B's as well as developing a strong voice for the industry with state regulatory and tourism agencies.
The WBBG is a voluntary association of bed and breakfast owners representing Washington State inns which meet high standards of cleanliness and hospitality. All members are independently inspected and approved. Through cooperative efforts, these inns work closely with all state and local governmental agencies to promote tourism and to assure high standards of safety and service within the bed and breakfast industry. The Guild acts as a public resource for state and local regulatory agencies governing the growing B&B industry.
The Guild has developed into an organization that actively promotes high standards for the bed and breakfast industry and tourism as a whole.
We hold an Annual Meeting for the whole membership and guests. Information on this years can be found here.
