BellinghamPerennially recognized by the national media as one of the best places to live in America, Bellingham is a place that truly has something for everyone. At the top of Sehome Hill, Western Washington University offers a quality education and plays host to world class artists and entertainers. In Bellingham's revitalized downtown, the Mount Baker Theatre and the Whatcom Museum of History and Art further the city's reputation as a cultural hub.

For the outdoor lover, Bellingham's extensive park and trail system offers endless possibilities. Boaters find unlimited recreational opportunities in Bellingham Bay, which also serves as a springboard to the San Juan Islands and Alaska. With a rich history that dates back to 1853, Bellingham is truly unique.
