HealingMaps Take: Salish Ketamine adds a dedicated IV-infusion option to Bellingham’s Fairhaven district — meaningful for Whatcom County and far-north Washington patients (including the Canadian-border communities) who want local ketamine care. It complements the multi-service Modern Mindwork and the Seattle NTC satellite, giving the North Sound genuine choice.
Market Position: Salish Ketamine occupies the dedicated-IV slot in Bellingham — distinct from Modern Mindwork’s broader practice and the Seattle NTC satellite. The Fairhaven location and Whatcom County / border-community focus are the differentiators.

About Salish Ketamine
Salish Ketamine operates from 1200 Old Fairhaven Pkwy, Ste 201 in Bellingham, WA (98225) — Fairhaven district location serving Whatcom County and the North Sound, including Bellingham, Ferndale, Lynden, and the communities near the Canadian border.
The practice is a dedicated IV ketamine infusion clinic for depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and mood disorders. It adds a focused infusion option to a market that also includes Modern Mindwork (broader practice) and a Seattle NTC satellite location.
For far-north Washington patients, having a local dedicated ketamine clinic reduces the need to travel south toward Seattle. Patients seeking Spravato, TMS, or KAP would look to the other Bellingham providers.
