Watching the sun set behind the mountains, casting a shimmering glow across Bellingham Bay, is just one of the perks of living in South Hill. Boulevard Park may become one of your favorite destinations -- the bay views are stunning, and you can sit and watch those spectacular sunsets while enjoying a treat at Woods Coffee. Boulevard Park also offers an overwater boardwalk, picnic areas, fishing docks, a walking trail, and a beach.
South Hill is wedged between the bay and Western Washington University. It is also just west of Sehome Hill Arboretum directly south of Downtown Bellingham.

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.
