Relaxed And Casual 

The Bellingham area gays & lesbians seem to prefer to entertain guests in their homes.   They network with other Gays & Lesbians by joining and participating in various clubs and activities such as camping, hiking, scuba diving, boating,  and other activities around both Washington and British Columbia.    Gay cruising in the Bellingham area is going out on a boat to the islands with friends.     The excitement of Vancouver with its renowned gay scene is only an hour away and the annual gay pride parade is non-stop party that must be experienced to be believed.        Seattle is only 2 hours away and it too has a substantial Gay & Lesbian community with numerous gay owned businesses, restaurants, bars and clubs.  

Between Seattle & Vancouver B.C.

Bellingham is a stop on Amtrak's  Cascades route that links up several major cities with Large Gay & Lesbian communities, from Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia,  Canada.      Hopping on a train at Bellingham's beautiful Fairhaven station is like boarding a magic carpet ride to Seattle, Portland, or Vancouver, and it is surprisingly affordable.    The route between Bellingham and Seattle winds along the water's edge and gives you spectacular views of Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands.   The Cascades train route is considered to be one of the most scenic rail trips in North America.       Keep a sharp eye out for bald eagles, seals, and perhaps even a pod of killer whales.       If you are traveling northbound you'll want to be sitting at a left side window seat, and on southbound trips you'll want a right side window seat for the best view.

Why would a Gay or Lesbian want to live in Bellingham?  

The same reason anyone would.  The breathtaking beauty, recreational opportunities, the  San Juan Islands,  and overall quality of life Bellingham has to offer.

Bellingham  is relatively progressive and sophisticated, perhaps due to its proximity to Seattle and Vancouver B.C. , and another factor may be the enormous influx of California and Oregon residents over the years that are used to having gay or lesbian neighbors and don't give it a thought.
