Is it Expensive to Live In Bellingham WA?

[@itawambamingo]

When I was living in Bellingham in the early 80s and working for the City of Bellingham, I had an opportunity to buy a house for $18,000!

Things change. I lived in Bellingham in 1971 to 1972 when the population is Bellingham was 34 k. I rented a house for $125/mo.I also could buy 4 cans of tuna for a dollar and a six pack of beer for a dollar. I visited Bellingham forty years later. Our house was a dump and the population was almost tripled. My wife worked at à daycare for $1.70/ hour.

We are debating moving back to Washington. Grew up in Granite Falls, moved to Fort Collins (CO version of Bellingham), but always liked Bellingham. What is the company that has a lot of rentals? We are looking to rent a full house with a yard somewhere in Whatcom county. TIA!

My family and I are moving to Bellingham from Canada. I'm curious as to why the cost of living is so high?
