EXPERIENCE ALL BELLINGHAM HAS TO OFFER
in the heart of Bellingham
Downtown Bellingham offers the best of small-town meets big city. Walk to a local brewery (or five), enjoy fine or casual dining, and discover craft cocktails with locally foraged infusions. Spend a day exploring local art, and treasure hunting for antiques or artisan-made goods. Head to the mountains, hop on your bike and hit on the nearby wooded trails, or walk along our urban seaside promenade. Whatever you get up to, we’ll be here for you in the heart of things when you’re ready to relax for the night.
