elcome to Bellingham/Whatcom
County Washington. Whatcom
County is the Northwestern most
county in the continental United
States. Bellingham is Ideally
located just 80 Miles North of
Seattle Washington, and just 60
miles South of Vancouver B.C
Canada (just far enough to avoid
the traffic hassles of both cities)
Bellingham/Whatcom Co. is one
of the most scenic areas in the
nation (and many many tell me in
the world), with it’s close proximity
to the Mt Baker recreation area
(Mt. Baker is the most photographed
Mountain In the world), and right
at the gateway to the pristine San
Juan island chain. You can quite
literally ski in the morning, golf in the
afternoon and have a sunset boat
cruise easily in the same day.
Bellingham has an ever diversifying
economy anchored by small business,
an ever expanding high tech business
environment as well as one of
Bellingham’s largest employers,
Washington states third largest
University Western Washington
University, where students compete
to be among to 12,000 student
population. WWU brings a great
deal of activities and arts to the area
which a city the size of Bellingham
(around 65,000) would normally not
have.
Other then the spectacular scenery and
proximity to Seattle & Vancouver the
other major reason Bellingham is
intensely competitive for relocation is
the very mild climate, featuring less then
10 days below freezing a year and even
fewer days above 90 degrees each year.
The scenic beauty, the wonderful
recreational activities, the mild climate,
the distance from the hustle and hassle
of large city life make Bellingham and
Whatcom County an exceptional
location for your family and business
to call home.
