Bellingham makes a great weekend getaway

MOLLY GILMORE / The Olympian|The Olympian / August 11, 2017

Bellingham — the northernmost city in the continental United States — will feel familiar to South Sounders.

Like Olympia, it’s a character-laden college town on the water. And like Olympia, it has a hippie vibe. So if you like it here, you’ll like it — maybe even love it — there.

But Bellingham has its own particular charms, including a plethora of parks and unique views — including Mount Baker to the east and Bellingham Bay to the west.

There are human-made splendors, too, including plentiful Victorian homes in the Fairhaven historic district.
