Bellingham

Bellingham is characterized by a diverse and striking topography that combines coastal and mountainous landscapes. The city lies along the eastern shore of Bellingham Bay, where the waters of the Puget Sound meet the foothills of the Cascade Range. Rising abruptly from the shoreline, the surrounding hills and mountains create a dramatic backdrop, with elevations reaching over 6,000 feet within a short distance from the bay. This unique geography results in a variety of ecosystems, including lush forests, rocky outcrops, and scenic waterfront areas. The area’s terrain offers residents and visitors alike easy access to numerous outdoor recreational opportunities, from hiking and mountain biking in the nearby Chuckanut Mountains to kayaking in the calm waters of the bay, making Bellingham a notable destination for nature enthusiasts.
