Relish small-town charm in the Peace Arch City

Coastal Suburban Peaceful Accessible Quiet Historic Scenic

Tucked in the northwest corner of Washington, Blaine rests on the United States-Canada border. Blaine is known as the Peace Arch City because it is the shared home of the Peace Arch Monument, a landmark honoring the peace treaty that ended the War of 1812.

Nestled between the Cascade Range and the Puget Sound, Blaine is convenient to an array of outdoor activities with plenty of parks and waterside amenities in town. Blaine’s small-town flavor is evident in its vibrant downtown and many cherished, annual events like Bite of Blaine, Drayton Harbor Music Festival, Springfest at Blaine Pavilion, Birch Bay Sand Castle Contest, Semiahmoo Bay International Sailing Regatta, Oktoberfest, and the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Options for day trips and weekend getaways are plentiful with Vancouver and Seattle both within a two-hour drive from Blaine as well.
