History of WIIN

The Washington Independent Inns Network, (WIIN) formerly the Washington 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. In November 2018 the Guild changed its name to the Washington Independent Inns Network (WIIN) and opened its membership to include properties not serving breakfast.
