Baker Theatre, the 15 story Bellingham Tower. Drive through charming neighborhoods full of classic homes. Stops on the WWU campus and in Fairhaven showcase the architectural blend of then and now.
Bellingham has more older homes and Victorian neighborhoods compared to Everett. A growth spurt in the 1920s left the city with many substantial architectural buildings downtown. A lunch presentation on new historic districts and Bellingham's cultural history will be at the iconic Old City Hall at the Whatcom Museum.
