Between Mount Baker and Bellingham Bay, this Pacific Northwest city combines outdoor recreation with a welcoming downtown atmosphere. Western Washington University's campus brings energy to the community of 94,720 residents. The rental market remains steady, with average rents ranging from $1,342 for studios to $3,116 for four-bedroom units, showing year-over-year increases between 0.6% and 3.5%. The Fairhaven Historic District offers character-filled apartments near local shops, while downtown features converted industrial spaces now home to residential units.
Whatcom Falls Park spans 241 acres with four waterfalls and an extensive trail network. The historic Mount Baker Theatre, dating to 1927, anchors the local arts scene. The waterfront district continues to expand with new residential developments and improved public spaces along Bellingham Bay. Located midway between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., Bellingham offers easy access to both cities.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
