Incredible view of Bellingham Bay
Welcome to Bellingham...within minutes of the Canadian border and the chance to visit Vancouver and Victoria. Two hours north of Seattle with the Space Needle and Mount Rainier in the background. Rent a bicycle for a tour of the "older" part of the city, take a hike near Mount Baker, see the San Juan Islands via ferry, rent a kayak and see the area from the salt water or enjoy one of the many parks on the salt water or at the lake. It's a great place for family fun and adventure.
Bellingham is a comfortable city with several smaller towns surrounding the city. Farmers markets provide fresh fruits and vegetables, cheese and a variety of foods. A Honda CRV provides traveling space for five persons for comfortable riding.
This year our family consists of myself, my son, his wife and two sons (20 and 15.). We do not live in the same area so try to have a family vacation in another location, so we can enjoy a new adventure. I am a retired teacher, my son is a registered nurse and his wife is a teacher. My second son is an engineer, his wife is a nurse. Their children are 13, 10 and 8. We look forward to a conversation with you. The month of July is what we are hoping for this year.
We do not live in the same area and like to find a "new place" to have a family gathering. We are all hoping you will consider Bellingham as a place to enjoy two or three weeks in mid July to mid August. Please consider a visit to Bellingham.

Lifestyle
Bellingham offers a casual life style. There are many family activities available from the local swimming pool to the beaches, walking through parks or checking out the mall and outlet stores nearby. Summer is the time of year to pick strawberries or raspberries in the fields or trying fresh oysters from the area. It's a relaxed atmosphere - come and enjoy.
