This photo journal, part 2 of the 2-part Bellingham set, features some beautiful homes we saw, most of them on the national register. Since I've returned home & done my background research, I see we misssed many historic homes, so we'll try to catch them next time. Also included are photos from our quick tour of the outdoor sculpture garden in the wonderful forst campus of Western Washington University (WWU) + the great waterfront restaurant where we had dinner before heading home.
If any of your nature types visit Bellingham, you will likely want to visit Sehome Hill/Arboretum: http://tinyurl.com/7gbsxck
