I lived in Bellinghm for 12 years... You were smart to see EVERYTHING worth touring there...in bellinghm... I've swam at that exact location...and there are blackberries throughout the entire city...It's a beautiful area and there's some great food...but there are the haves and the havenots, of course...it's now overrun very much by the same element consuming much of the west coast...I appreciate your review of BellinghAm.

Grew up about a mile away from Whatcom Falls park. 60 years old now but when in Middle School it was a sign of courage to cross that old bridge. Not blocked off then. You missed out by not taking the trail in the other direction. That is where the unofficial swimming mostly takes place in an area called the whirlpool. There is also cliff diving that happens at this swimming hole.

Funny, it’s I-5 here… definitely from California. Dead giveaway calling it “the 5.” Other helpful tips… Skagit, is pronounced Ska-jit, and Nooksack is nook (like the corner of a room) nook-sack. They are Native American names. No ice in the rivers, but most are glacier fed in WA state. They are all cold.

You really should have taken a local with you. There's so much cool stuff just in Whatcom Falls that you missed. Chuckanut Drive and all of the beaches and the Bat Caves are a must. Sehome Hill is great for a overview of the city. So many other place there to visit. I lived there for 8 years and loved it!!

FYI the bat caves are closed. The trail has been obliterated and hidden. However the view from the top Oyster Dome (of the San Juan Islands) is amazing still!

Welcome to the PNW; our Mexican food is terrible! 😂 I’ve lived in Bellingham for 7 years now; this video is fairly representative of how it usually goes, “…this would be awesome, if it weren’t raining…”. Major part missing from video was an exploration of the downtown and Fairhaven districts. Glad they, at least, they hit up Kulshan Trackside at Waypoint Park.

Was born and raised there, sadly it is not the same as when I was a kid. Too many rich retirees and people coming in and driving up the prices. Its catered for the rich only now. The job infrastructure and wages doesnt support the cost of living there. And the cancer rates are through the roof if you do your research. No offense. Its beautiful..Where else can you get Islands with Orcas and the Mountains in your own backyard?. Good video though, I like your guys energy.

No, everybody doesn't mispronounce those names! As someone who was born and raised here and still lives here, I can tell you no truly local people mispronounce any of those names. She didn't even pronounce the city of Bellingham properly, and that is an English name straight from England.
