Bellingham
Pacific Northwest city
Bellingham is a city in northwestern Washington State, near the Canadian border on Bellingham Bay.
It serves as a gateway to the San Juan Islands and outdoor recreation in the North Cascades.
The city is home to Western Washington University and has a reputation for progressive politics and outdoor culture: We drove up to Bellingham for the weekend.
