Bellingham: A Lifestyle
Iconic in its own right, Bellingham is a city known for having the perfect combination of oddity and charm. Our community is strong in our beliefs, and passionate about our loves. From going out to getting outdoors, Bellingham has transcended from being a place into a lifestyle. Welcome to the City of Renewed Excitement. We're happy you're here.
Supporting Local, Since Day One
Our community takes pride in what we provide and produce. From finding the perfect local businesses with Sustainable Connections to shopping at the Bellingham Farmers Market, you'll find an emphasis on keeping our downtown vibrant and alive through supporting the businesses and individuals who call it home.
Support independent businesses: Shop Downtown
A Love for the Outdoors, Rain or Shine
Downtown Bellingham is our region's urban hub. Downtown is also right on the bay, surrounded by lakes, and in the foothills of one of the best recreation mountains in the world (which holds the world record for snowfall).
Picture you day here: You wake up and grab a cup of locally roasted coffee downtown before heading out. You might hike the Chuckanuts, ski Mt. Baker, or explore mountain bike trails in Gailbraith, kayak on Bellingham Bay… the choices are endless! Then you find yourself back downtown for a cold craft beer (or cider) and dinner in the evening.
That's just how we live here.
