BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A specialty coffee shop in Bellingham is now closed.

Primer Coffee, located next door to Elizabeth Station on Holly Street, announced that they shut their doors Tuesday.

They say some things are making it impossible to sustain the shop as it is, and they’re going to take some time to refocus the use of the space.

But Elizabeth Station will continue to sell Olympia Coffee Roasters coffee and any Primer gift cards can still be used there.
