You can't get much closer to Canada than a city like Bellingham, Washington. This Pacific Northwest city is right up against Bellingham Bay, north of Seattle and the Puget Sound. There's also Lake Whatcom to the east, providing breathtaking views of the water on two sides of town. You can cast your line or take out your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard pretty much anywhere you find water, but sailing or taking a pleasure cruise around Bellingham Bay to one of the nearby islands is a must.
In Bellingham, you can do a little bit of every outdoor activity in some of the most spectacular settings in America. For some hiking, head to the south part of town to Lake Padden Park, or stick close to the coast at Boulevard Park. In the western part of the city, you can hike through the lush forest at Whatcom Falls Park to take in the natural splendor of the namesake waterfalls. And if you're looking to shred in the snow, Mount Baker is the place to go.
If you like to eat locally, Bellingham is the perfect place because the majority of the restaurants, cafes, and bars use locally sourced ingredients pulled right from the waters, gardens, and farms in the area. Nothing beats fresh seafood caught that morning hitting your dinner plate in the evening. Pair your delicious meal with a visit to the many local art galleries, the electric SPARK Museum, and the Jazz Center, or catch a show at the Mount Baker Theatre, the Bellingham Symphony Orchestra, or Bellingham TheatreWorks.
