Bellingham WA is a bounty of green foliage and beautiful coastline views. Visitors will likely be overwhelmed with the variety of outdoor activities to enjoy and natural wonders to explore. Hiking in the Mt. Shuksan and Mt. Baker areas will provide many opportunities for wonderful photographs and some rather vigorous exercise. The Mount Baker Ski Area is not only photogenic, but has the longest season in the state and holds the record for single-season snowfall - 1,140 inches! Closer to sea level, where the snow rarely falls, golfing and water sports are popular activities.

Bellingham offers numerous sightseeing and cultural activities. Chuckanut Drive (State Route 11) or the Scenic Byway- Mt. Baker Highway, both will please your senses and rouse the historian inside of you with many historical markers and sites along the way. Cultural centers of interest include the Whatcom Museum of History & Art, and the historic Fairhaven district.

Bellingham is the home of Western Washington University, a culturally and ethnically diverse center which adds to the colorful fabric that is Bellingham's personality.

Bellingham has a strong public school system and local library, and various cultural and artistic organizations in town that helps to insure residents are knowledgeable about the world in which they live.

As A Side Note

Bellingham WA "Our corner Of Paradise" during the holiday season was almost beyond description. The beautiful snow that made our white Christmas was perfectly timed. Families were together and able to take time and visit the beaches for the perfect Northwest Coast Christmas. Everything was crisp and white, the fresh air coming across the water made everything just right to build the snowman that everyone talks about, then go inside, visit and enjoy hot cocoa and season goodies.

In downtown Bellingham it was the holiday season at its best. The lights, the sounds, the snow...the great food. This was a holiday to be remembered by both the young and the young at heart.

In the Blaine /Northwest Washington area the migratory birds have arrived. For great viewing, visit Sunset Beach in Birch Bay Village, walk the Semiahmoo Spit, and cross the road to scan Drayton Harbor. If you want to stay in your car, take a drive from the Semiahmoo Resort, down the Semiahmoo Spit, around Drayton Harbor, all the way to the Blaine Marina. the beauty is beyond your wildest dreams.

If you have extra time, drive down to Birch Bay Drive cruise the entire bay from Birch Bay to Birch Bay State Park, around to Point Whitehorn. You will be glad you did!
