A Vision for Bellingham’s
Waterfront and Downtown
Bellingham is revitalizing its downtown and waterfront, focusing on housing, arts, and streamlined development. Mayor Kim Lund’s vision emphasizes walkable neighborhoods and investment opportunities to enhance the city’s quality of life.
Through initiatives like “Downtown Forward,” the city is boosting local businesses and community culture. By blending natural beauty with a vibrant food and music scene, Bellingham remains a top destination for residents and entrepreneurs seeking both growth and lifestyle.
Building Bellingham’s
Next Waterfront Era
Bellingham is transforming its industrial waterfront into a vibrant mixed-use destination connecting the city to the bay. According to Mike Hogan of the Port of Bellingham, this vision includes parks, trails, housing, and shops designed for year-round activity.
Key projects like Salish Landing and the Boardmill Hotel highlight a commitment to sustainability and growth. Through strong partnerships and popular activations like Kulshan Trackside, Bellingham is leveraging festivals and public art to bring new energy to its evolving shoreline.
A Rising Waterfront
Real Estate Market
Bellingham and Whatcom County are emerging as premier Pacific Northwest markets, mirroring the waterfront transformations of cities like Vancouver and San Diego. This vision centers on redeveloping Bellingham Bay into a connected, mixed-use community that blends historic character with modern growth.
The region offers exceptional outdoor recreation and urban amenities at a better value than Seattle. With rising demand for luxury waterfront living and the Port’s strategic master plan, Bellingham is becoming a dynamic destination for residents and investors seeking both momentum and lifestyle.
Luxury Living
on the Water’s Edge
Experience the daily rhythm of Bellingham Bay, where mornings begin at Mercato delle Bontà and Waypoint Park. Afternoons unfold along waterfront trails or at local staples like Gruff and Kulshan Trackside, where the district’s energy feels both vibrant and grounded.
When adventure calls, the marina is steps away for trips to the San Juan Islands. Here, lifestyle and setting move in sync—allowing each day to be as active or quiet as you choose, flowing as easily as the tide.
