With the Cascade Mountains in the background and sitting along Bellingham Bay, Downtown Bellingham provides more than a beautiful landscape. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, an apartment in Downtown Bellingham is ideal -- nearby activities include boating, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and camping. There's even an event that highlights Bellingham's fantastic adventures: the Ski to Sea Race, which begins as a ski race on Mount Baker and ends with kayaking on the bay. The seven-leg race is held over Memorial Day weekend and dates back to 1911.
Downtown Bellingham is a pedestrian-friendly shopping district, filled with gift stores, art galleries, boutiques, and more. Downtown Bellingham is next door to another favorite shopping district, the Historic Fairhaven District. Western Washington University is a few blocks south of Downtown Bellingham, and students often bike ride or walk downtown.
