University
Located about 100 miles north of Seattle, Happy Valley is one of Bellingham’s most wooded neighborhoods. Similar to other Washington communities, Happy Valley has underdeveloped pockets of land and access to parks, wetlands, forests, and meadows. It’s common to catch an owl, deer, or even a horse grazing in town. Along with natural beauty, Happy Valley is best known for bordering Western Washington University and students or faculty can walk to campus in under 15 minutes. Although the neighborhood is a popular location for student housing, Happy Valley also has a variety of affordable to upscale houses and apartments available for rent. With access to two commercial hubs and great schools, Happy Valley is also a popular spot for families. Downtown Bellingham is only a 10-minute drive away so residents have easy access to museums, theaters, live music venues, diverse restaurants, brewpubs, cafes, and more. And if you ever want to take a road trip, Vancouver, Canada is only an hour away while Seattle is an hour and a half drive away from Happy Valley.
