The room you plan on cooling isn't so large; portable air conditioners do not work as well as their cheaper counterparts (IMO). The window units (like a 5000 BTU unit) consumes anywhere from 500-800 watts which is much lower than the portable ones.

Do you have a window available? I just installed a cheap window AC into the casement window of my computer room; it was $100, uses less power than my portable unit and cools better


BTW the evaporative air conditioners are crap because our weather is so humid


If you're dead set on getting a portable unit, Walmart in the states has a ton of decent ones, a few refurbished LG portable air conditioners for $250-$300 USD. They have free shipping store to store so just ship to bellingham and go pick it up
