The Samish Neighborhood is one of Bellingham’s best kept residential secrets. Nestled between the Interstate Highway and the Samish Crest Natural Area, this neighborhood is considered the entrance to Bellingham and boasts abundant open space with a distinct ‘backcountry’ feel. The 2 main thoroughfares are Samish Way, which runs through the middle of the neighborhood past the city border, and 40th Street, which provides access to the higher elevation homes.
Inside the Samish Neighborhood, you will find a plethora of beautiful single-family homes accompanied by views of the surrounding foothills or Bellingham Bay. Houses within the neighborhood vary both in style and age but are generously spaced apart. Bisecting streets around Mill Avenue and the northern section of the neighborhood harbor older developments, which often sit on lots averaging 12,000 square feet. This part of the neighborhood even offers the cozy Ridgemont Park, a charming little spot to entertain your family in. Towards the eastern edge of the neighborhood off of 40th street lie the newer developments, which have been sequentially developed over the past 40 years. Nearing the top of the hill, you will find residences pressed against the Samish Crest, giving parts of the neighborhood a peaceful, private feel Many of these large homes lie on larger plots of land, averaging 20,000 square feet of property per household. Despite the differences in housing style, the neighborhood touts an overall countryside ambiance.
Adding to Samish’s natural atmosphere, you can find over 1,100 acres of park land and over 10 miles of trails, primarily located in the Padden Gorge Nature Area and Lake Paden Park. If you’re looking for a one-stop place for all of your outdoor activities, look no further than Lake Padden. Lake Padden is a beautiful medium-sized lake with many amenities, including a non-motorized boat launch, a unique trail system, picnic shelters, a playground and basketball court, a softball field, and a dog park. Caressing the eastern edge of the park lies Lake Padden Golf Course. This award-winning public course offers a full 18-hole golf experience surrounded by beautiful 150-foot tall trees and the Samish foothills.
Families that settle themselves in the Samish neighborhood can expect their kids to attend either Wade King Elementary or Happy Valley Elementary, with later attendance at Fairhaven Middle School and Sehome High School.
The Samish neighborhood is a gorgeous escapist neighborhood, offering quick and easy access to incredible outdoor experiences while giving you the privacy and peaceful lifestyle of living in the countryside. Both the proximity to nature and the rest of the city makes Samish a unique gem among the greater Bellingham area.
