Bellingham Travel Guide

Perhaps best known outside of Washington state as the southern terminus for ferries heading north to Alaska, Bellingham is a vibrant little city that boasts excellent views of the San Juan Islands. Still an active shipping port, Bellingham has, at Squalicum Harbor, a large commercial and private boat marina, a hotel and commercial complex, and a park that together provide residents and visitors with a chance to enjoy the bay. South of downtown Bellingham, near the Bellingham Cruise Terminal, which is where Alaska ferries dock, is the historic community of Fairhaven. Fairhaven's old brick commercial buildings and interesting shops are a highlight of a visit to Bellingham. Read More
