Boutique shops are open but are required to limit the number of guests who may shop with them. Shop now and enjoy a quiet time.

After enjoying a fabulous ice cream, you may want to stroll to Taylor Dock. As you walk over the open waters of Bellingham Bay to Boulevard Park, it is easy to understand why this is one of Bellingham’s most popular trails.
In Boulevard Park, you will find open fields and a play structure for kids. Take in the breathtaking views of Downtown and Bellingham Bay as you walk, run, or bike along the waterfront.
I took a walk there this summer, and it is my favorite place to go. I love the boardwalk. It doesn’t get much better than that! Don’t you think?
