Bellingham, Washington Overview

It's tempting to wax nostalgic about Bellingham and the unspoiled nature surrounding it, which can be experienced on scenic Chuckanut Drive, at the San Juan Islands, on a day trip to nearby Fairhaven, or in town at parks like Lake Padden Park. But then you'd be missing everything. Fishing, hiking, cycling, sea kayaking, and more put you right into the heart of Bellingham, while charming storefronts, live music venues and restaurants, and attractions like the American Museum of Radio and Electricity contribute to the vibrant city life. So hold off on the nostalgia until you leave-there's no doubt you'll want to come back.
