Fairhaven, a National Historic District, began as Fairhaven Village around 1880. It is located along Bellingham Bay on the southwest side of Western Washington University. Fairhaven is a terrific location for boaters, home to San Jan Cruises, Zodiac Sailing Schooner, and the Fairhaven Shipyard. Marine Park, located on the bay, includes a picnic area and a beach for launching kayaks. The Lower Padden Creek and Larrabee Trail leads from the park, through Fairhaven, and toward Larrabee State Park.
With its Victorian architecture, art galleries and boutiques, restaurants, pubs, and cafes, Fairhaven is a charming, fun-filled, walkable district. Fairhaven holds events year-round, including the Polar Bear Plunge at Birch Bay in January, the Recreation Northwest Expo in February, the Spring Craft & Antique Show in March, Bellingham Beer Week in April, to the Bellingham Festival of Music and the Northwest Raspberry Festival in July.
