Things To Do
Goods Local Brews
This is our local watering hole. Tons of outdoor seating and good beer on tap. Don't sleep on the donuts from the Dumpling Girls food truck! We also recommend the nachos from the taco truck.
Chuckanut Drive
"A premier byway sometimes referred to as Washington’s Big Sur (perhaps Little Sur would be more fitting), the 24-mile curvy route hugs the sheer sandstone cliffs of the Chuckanut Mountains. The only place where the Cascade Mountains meet the sea, Chuckanut Drive overlooks Samish Bay and offers gorgeous views of the San Juan Islands and Chuckanut Bay."
Taylor Shellfish Farms
After your scenic drive on Chuckanut Dr, stop by Taylor Shellfish in Bow for a stunning view of the bay and fresh (or grilled) oysters! They also serve beer and wine. Amazing ocean view right on the water. Highly recommend stopping here.
Cornwall Park
This is our local park- 0.5 miles from our apartment. This park has huge trees, well-manicured walking paths/trails throughout and a 9-hole disc golf course. *Side note- disc golf is super popular in Bellingham. This is just ONE of the many courses the city has to offer.
Zuanich Point Park
This is a nice park on the water where locals fly really cool kites! It's on a walking/running path.
Kulshan Brewing Co - Trackside Beer Garden
Outdoor beer garden with a pump track and food trucks.
Cafe Blue
Black/Yapese & Queer owned coffee shop in Fairhaven. This spot is a gem! Really good coffee and in-house made pastries. Try the specialty toasts!
Bellingham Farmers Market
Local flowers, produce, arts, crafts, baked goods, food trucks, etc. located in the heart of downtown.
Lake Padden
Enjoy a stroll on the main loop trail that goes around Lake Padden or lengthen your trip by exploring some of the short trails at the east end of the park. It's 2.6 miles around the whole lake on a gravel path.
Clark's Point
Short 2.6 mile easy out and back trail with an awesome view of Bellingham Bay and San Juan Islands at the end. https://edgemoorneighborhood.com/clarks-point/
