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.
