Bellingham WA
The City of Bellingham (aka the City of Subdued Excitement!) formed in 1903 when the cities of New Whatcom and Fairhaven consolidated. The local economy got its start in resource extraction, notably coal and timber. Recently employment has diversified from heavy industry to education, services, tourism, and retail. Situated on Bellingham Bay, you can venture from downtown and in minutes be in rural farmland, the North Cascades or out on the salt waters around the San Juan Islands. Bellingham is situated about 80 miles North of Seattle and 55 miles South of Vancouver, BC. Bellingham is known for being a town that cares for its environment and its residents enjoy the many outdoor activities the region supports. Outdoor adventure[3] has become a big part of the reasons why people live and visit here. From skiing at nearby Mt. Baker to whale watching near the San Juan Islands, the region offers many attractions. While the community is growing, it still retains much of its authentic self and commitment to its laid back, progressive style.
