Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism
This non profit group's website has loads of information
and travel and lodging deals, plus lots of information on area attractions
and things to do before or after the festival. They offer a downloadable 37
page PDF Visitors Guide that is excellent, and they will send you a free
visitors packet of information.
The Bellingham Herald
AKA the local rag, you can catch up on local events and
check the classifieds at the Herald's site.
 Port of Bellingham
The Port website includes links to information about the several marinas
it operates and to airport information. The site needs updating, but does
have general information and links to the airlines and other sites.
 Bay Cam
Don't miss the Bay Cam! Sponsored by Bellingham Cold
Storage, the bay cam sits atop the BCS offices at Squalicum Harbor and
offers a great view across the breakwater and out onto Bellingham Bay! And
no, that's not rain – perish the thought – must be a mirage of some kind. :)
Bellingham Yacht Club
 The BYC site has information about upcoming club events
and an interesting history of the member-driven organization.
Bellingham Chart Printers
 Hopefully,
you'll be able to find your way to Bellingham Bay with no problem, but in
case you need a chart update, or are planning a cruise, these folks can
probably help.
Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce
The "chamber" site has information about coming events
and, of course, business and commerce things. The photo gallery provides a
good overview of the area's seasonal changes.
 Tide
Information
If you're arriving by boat, you might be interested in
checking this site, providing tidal range calculations in graph form.
Fairhaven
 No
visit to Bellingham is complete without taking time to explore the Fairhaven
district. One of the original three settlements that later became
Bellingham, Fairhaven was the port just above Post Point, where 19th century
merchant vessels unloaded their ballasts of brick before taking on cargos of
timber to transport to cities that were booming to the south. Many of the
buildings in Fairhaven are built of these ballast bricks. Be sure to visit
Tony's for an espresso, or Archer's for an ale, or Village Books for a good
read! Or just hike around and take in the ambiance.
