Things To Do
Lost Giants Cider Company
Delicious dry and semi-sweet local cider. (Also this is the location where the reception party will be held at.)
Wander Brewing
Kelsey worked here for 4 years. The Wander family has a special place in our hearts. Oh, and some of the best craft beer.
ROAM Coffee + Beer
Same owners of Wander Brewing. Good coffee and Wander beer.
Aslan Depot: Barrels & Blending
Beer, wine and cider taphouse in an historic building in downtown Bellingham. Their selection of beverages range from barrel-aged to simple classics. Great indoor seating and outdoor seating with firepit.
Cabin Tavern
"Upscale" dive bar. Cheap and most delicious burgers in town.
The Racket Bar and Pinball Lounge
Pinball bar with house made craft cocktails, philly cheesesteaks and falafel.
Redlight
Delicious craft cocktails in an indie vibe bar. Delicious wontons and Asian inspired food! Their happy hour is killer as well.
Keenan's at the Pier
Great happy hour spot. Any meal that you want to enjoy looking over the San Juan Islands should be had here.
Elizabeth Station
This spot is great for stopping in for a glass of beer, cider, or wine and it also offers the best selection of a variety of beer, cider, and wine in Bellingham to take to go or enjoy at Elizabeth Station itself.
Jack’s
Cozy little bar with delicious cocktails.
Rock and Rye Oyster House
Tasty fresh oysters. Go for happy hour!
The Black Cat
Good happy hour for food and drinks in a very old building in Fairhaven.

Tadeo's Mexican Restaurant
Our favorite Mexican food. (Cucumber Jalapeno Margarita and grilled chicken tacos!)

Modern twist to tacos. Great beverages, tacos and dips.
Mount Bakery Cafe Downtown
Fantastic breakfast. Try their Eggs Benedict, it comes on a Belgian Waffle!
Old World Deli
This delicious lunch spot offers great salads, soups, and sandwiches. AJ and Kelsey's favorite is the spicy Italian sandwich. Go try one out for yourself!
Cafe Velo
One of Kelsey and AJ's favorite places to grab some great espresso drinks, salads and sandwiches, and a tasty selection of beer, wine, tea, and kombucha. Also, the owners are wonderful people!
Taylor Shellfish Farms
Yummy local oysters, mussels, crab, and more! Enjoy the beautiful view with shucking oysters and drinking a beer or a glass of wine while doing so. Also, to get there you drive on Chuckanut Drive. The drive itself is worth going.
VITAL Climbing Gym - Bellingham
This indoor bouldering gym has lots of routes that offers many different climbing levels for everyone to enjoy! There is also a yoga studio as well that offers all different styles of yoga classes.
Ride Culture
Want a quick sweaty workout? Take a 45min cycle class at Kelsey's favorite cycle studio. She recommends signing up for a class with Sophia, Jamie, Carli or Erin.
barre3 Bellingham
Barre3 is Kelsey's favorite place to workout besides the climbing gym and cycle studio. The combination of yoga, pilates, and ballet with a cardio and light weight lifting is the perfect workout! She recommends taking a class from Katie P, Leah, or Lauren.
Penny Lane Antique Mall
This is Kelsey's favorite shop in town. Most of AJ and Kelsey's house is decorated with Penny Lane finds. Just a forewarning, you will most likely walk out buying at least one item.
Babygreens plant shop & cafe
This cute plant and coffee shop is so delightful. While browsing the plants, grab a cup of coffee, tea, wine, or beer to help inspire your next plant purchase.
Chuckanut Drive
Chuckanut Drive scenic byway has amazing views worth driving to! Shown on maps as WA State Highway 11, the route begins at I-5 exit 231 in Burlington and continues 20 miles north to Bellingham. This is a favorite and historic entry into Whatcom County. At milepost 14, Chuckanut Drive passes Larrabee State Park, the first designated State Park in Washington. With access to the beach, tide pools, and trails, and encompassing 2,000+ acres, Larrabee is a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
