Awful place to live. Never come here.

Being born and raised in Bellingham, I can tell you, its not the best. Very expensive cost of living, small houses average ridiculously high prices. No super special restaurants. Mediocre shops. Downtown is gross, and filled with awful people who you should stay away from. The education system is bad too. The people here are very close-minded. It's growing a lot with apartments and such, but not in anything else. The mall has okay shops but overall not fun to hang out at. The most redeeming quality about Bellingham is the nature. That's about it. But the thing about Bellingham is there are two types of people. Kind, nature loving friends who are here to enjoy life, or the rude, rich, entitled people. Sadly there are more rich entitled people here than the kind ones. It saddens me to have to speak so poorly about this town I've lived in all my life, but it must be said. Bellingham is absolutely awful, never live here if you value your mental health, stay away from Bellingham, and Washington in general.
