Bellingham WA is a medium sized city just slightly south of the Canadian border. We luckily arrived (and left) before the major development boom brought on by the anticipation of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, B.C. Bellingham was a tranquil place to live largely due to excellent city planning. Open parks and intercity trails weave through the city from one end to the other. We lived in Fairhaven close by the Bellingham Bay - a really interesting and pretty part of the city.
