Things To Do
Kulshan Brewing Co - Trackside Beer Garden
A favorite spot for outdoor beverages and grub. The "container village" has a handful of food and beverage options centered around the spacious and open Trackside location of our favorite brewery in town.
Structures Brewing
Another favorite for beers and has a great waterfront location. This spot is our go to for great burgers and chicken sandwiches.
Black Sheep Bellingham
Really tasty tacos and margaritas, and a great atmosphere!
Artist Point
The best bang for your buck to get amazing high elevation views. There are several hiking options ranging from an easy 1 mile meander, to an 8 mile loop or an out and back as far as you'd like that approaches Mount Baker. Or simply enjoy the scenic drive to the end point of Highway 542.
Fairhaven
The village of Fairhaven is a separate downtown area with great shops and restaurants. Taylor Dock and Boulevard Park are awesome spots nearby to take a walk on the waterfront. Avenue Bread and Cafe Blue are two of Ursula's favorite spots from when she used to work in Fairhaven.
Whatcom Falls Park
A favorite park with nice walking and running trails. Be sure to check out the Falls. Some of our other favorite parks in town are Cornwall Park, Elizabeth Park and the Sehome Hill Arboretum.
Fragrance Lake Trailhead
The Chuckanut area is incredible for having a wide variety of hikes so close to town. We recommend Clayton Beach or Fragrance Lake from this parking lot. There are many other hikes starting at Arroyo Park, or head south to check out Oyster Dome for a longer hike with a great viewpoint. (hot tip- park on the road for free since the lot requires a permit or daily fee)
