Day
Trip to:
Bellingham
Bellingham is a picturesque
and vibrant city that is recognized nationally as one of the best
places to live in America. Just a half hour's drive from the mainland
ferry dock, this delightful destination is reminiscent of a “mini-San
Francisco,” and offers something of interest for everyone
in the family.
The
community has much to offer in wonderful dining experiences, unique
shopping destinations, and world class cultural activities. There
are a multitude of opportunities within the city limits for hiking,
biking, and just plain enjoying the magical surroundings of the
salt water beaches and beautiful mountain vistas.
You will find art galleries brimming with work reflecting the
creativity of local artists and craftsmen—and the historic
and beautifully restored Mount Baker Theatre offers the best in
music, dance, and nationally known Broadway musicals.
There
are wonderful “off the beaten track” places to visit
such Mindport Exhibits, a hands on experience for children of
all ages. The center offers a delightful mix of science, nature,
and art—an approach that inspires wonder and creativity
in thought sure to delight everyone in the family.
Another destination of interest in Bellingham is the Whatcom Museum
of History and Art, a center that inhabits four buildings in the
downtown core and offers exhibits of art and history, along with
an interactive children's museum.
One
of the most extraordinary experiences you will ever have is a
guided boat trip from Squalicum Harbor on the bay. A seven hour
trip in search of the families of orca whales who inhabit local
waters will leave you wondering where the time disappeared .
. . and the unbelievable experience of sighting a pod of these magnificent
creatures swimming and playing is a vision that will stay in your
memory for the rest of your life.
A day trip to Bellingham from the island will be a fun-filled
experience for everyone, and you’ll arrive back on the island
in time to fire up the grill and watch the sun sink slowly behind
the spectacular San Juan Islands in the distance.
