Bellingham Moving CompaniesAs the tenth largest city in the state of Washington, Bellingham may not be the biggest, but it has some of the best outdoor experiences in the Whatcom County and in the nation. Nearby Whatcom Falls Park beckons with more than 241 acres at your disposal, including four sets of waterfalls and several walking trails. During the summer months, Whirlpool Falls becomes a popular swimming hole where locals jump off cliffs as high as 50 feet past the falls and into the pool.
Bellingham is a city built around a bay. A common sight to residents is the orca whales that inhabit the waters west of the Bellingham Bay. You can take a day and learn more about whales at the Whale Museum or charter a boat to see them up close. Other fun activities include the Whatcom Museum of History and Art, which features local history exhibits, historic cruises on Bellingham Bay, walking tours and watching or participating in the biggest event of the year: 'The Ski to Sea Race.' It is a Bellingham tradition consisting of a seven leg relay race. Participants must complete cross country skiing, downhill skiing (snowboarding), running, biking, canoeing (two persons), mountain biking and kayaking heats. All these events are available to residents all year long!
If you love watching outdoor competitions, then Bellingham is the place for you! In 2010, Vancouver, British Columbia, will be the host of the Winter Olympics. Bellingham is the closest United States city to Vancouver. Because Bellingham is a bay, there are many different modes of transportation, with the Port of Bellingham and the Alaska marine Highway System as the most popular routes. You can also watch the Bellingham Bells (baseball), the Bellingham Slam (basketball) or the Bellingham Bulls (ice hockey) on a night out with the family.
Bellingham was not always an eventful port city. The city was first named after the bay, which was named for Sir William Bellingham. Sir Bellingham was the controller of the storekeeper's account of the Royal Navy and his name was chosen by George Vancouver, an officer in the Royal Navy, in June 1792. At the time, Bellingham had only a few houses. In 1858, the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush brought thousands up from California and the town grew overnight into a lively seaport.
Today, Bellingham is home to 74,770 residents. It is situated on Bellingham Bay west of Mount Baker (which holds the world's record for the greatest amount of snowfall in one season) and north of Chuckanut Mountains and Skagit Valley with the Whatcom Creek running through the middle.
These natural landmarks are what attract the continuous flow of home buyers to the Bellingham market. New properties are constantly springing up all over the city, including in the Downtown area, Fairhaven, Happy Valley, Cordata, and Barkley neighborhoods. The city has also recently seen an increase in Bellingham real estate prices. However, there has been an increase in home sales since 2006. The current average price of a Bellingham home for sale is at 375,585. 610 homes were sold in 2007 with an average of 91 days on the market, according to the data compiled by Localism.
So start your search today for a home in Bellingham and bring the outdoor excitement right to your doorstep.
