Overview
Bellingham is situated between the Whatcom Falls Park and the Mount Baker Ski Area and features legendary scenery. Education and health-care opportunities are abundant, with over five colleges and St. Joseph Hospital in the area. As a community, Bellingham supports small enterprise, evidenced by the Community Food Co-op's efforts toward local organic food and the Pickford Cinema's support of independent, art house films. This grassroots attitude continues into its sporting culture, which receives national attention for its annual seven-leg, Ski-to-Sea relay race, as well as Mount Baker's record-setting snowfalls and excellent skiing.
