The Port of Bellingham has the largest Boat harbor north of the Seattle Area. The Port of Bellingham also has a boat harbor in Blaine.
This picture is of Squalicum Harbor, the Port of Bellingham's largest, on Bellingham Bay. They have short term moreage along with 3 boat ramps.
There are a few restaurants to choose from, the regional Anthony's is a favorite, but the locally owned Marina is also very good.
The US Coast Guard has a full service facility in the harbor as well. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

Bellingham has a pretty good bus system, if you're visiting and don't have a car. The station is downtown on Railroad Ave, where you can catch a bus to just about anywhere in Whatcom County. They are wheelchair accessible and if you're a cyclist, you can latch your bike to the front. 50 cents a ride. In Fairhaven they run a very cute bus modelled after a trolley. They only get crowded on the routes that serve the University during peak hours. Leave a Comment

During the Ski to Sea Festival (Memorial Day weekend), on Sunday a race is held from the Mt. Baker Ski area to Marine Park in Fairhaven (Southern part of Bellingham). The race starts w/ cross country skiing, then downhill, then running 7 miles down the mountain, then biking to Everson where the batton is handed off to a canoe. The Canoe goes as far as Ferndale and then hands off to a mountain biker who bikes to Bellingham Bay and hands off to a sea kayaker who kayaks accross Bellingham Bay to Fairhaven. The kayaker runs up the beach and rings a bell to end the race for his team. Leave a Comment Directions: All over Whatcom County

This place is a good starting point for your visit to Bellingham. The park is at the main harbor, and there is plenty of parking & also stores & restaurants to look at. But the main reason to visit the park is to get a nice view of Bellingham, the adjacent mountains & the Puget Sound & San Juan Islands.
Make sure you bring a coat because it's often freezing cold from a stiff breeze that blows in. There's not much else to see except for the boats & a memorial to fishermen that have been lost. This place was a huge fishing town, & fishing is still a major industry here.
Here's a website for the "Safe Return" fisherman's memorial:

During the summer, the park is a nice place to play frisbee or just hang out. Leave a Comment
