Springtime Strolls though Elizabeth Park

By Susan Stecher

There’s no better time than late spring to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the classic gardens of Elizabeth Park, in the Columbia neighborhood of Bellingham. Beneath century-old maple, chestnut and walnut trees, park-goers are treated to a wide variety of activities in the park — with tennis courts and lots of fun for the kids.

Beginning in late June, Elizabeth Park will have concerts on Thursday nights, showcasing the best of local Pacific Northwest music. From bluegrass to reggae to swing, you’re going to want to be sure to make it out!

Founded in 1887, the Bayview Cemetery in Bellingham‘s Whatcom Falls neighborhood is a piece of treasured Whatcom County history. For those who like a solitary walk beneath stately elm and maple trees, or those who enjoy finding monuments to Whatcom‘s founding families (such as Eldridge, Bloedel, and Roeder), this 234 acres in the heart of the City of Bellingham is well worth exploring.

Whatcom County is full of history for those who enjoy a peek into the past. For more information on historical areas such as Fairhaven and the Eldridge district in Columbia, please visit our Bellingham neighborhoods page.

Check out this sunset view from Zuanich Park in Squalicum Harbor! Just moments from the San Juan Islands, this port on Bellingham Bay is home to more than 1,800 commercial and pleasure boats. With views like these, it’s easy to see why this part of the Columbia neighborhood is a favorite destination for boaters and land-lovers alike.

Sunset over Bellingham Bay

By Susan Stecher

boat

Seasoned residents of the Pacific Northwest have been bracing for the tell-tale cooler weather and rain that signals the arrival of fall, but so far, summer seems to be sticking around for a while. No complaints here!

This boat headed out from Bellingham’s Squalicum Harbor at sunset a few days ago. While many people stood on shore at Zuanich Point Park enjoying the vibrant sunset, this boat set out for an unobstructed view.

Residents of the Eldridge Historical District (in the Columbia Neighborhood) have easy access to both the park and these stunning views–no boat required. Check out our Columbia photo galleries to see more!
