For the most part, I agree. Real estate and rentals are cheap compared to West Coast hot spots, but I think they are a poor value considering what you actually get for your money. As for things to do, a place is what you make it, but yeah, there's basically nothing to do in Bellingham besides outdoor rec. And yeah, I do think Bellingham has a higher than average number of strange people. Better than many of the surrounding towns, though.

I just came from beautiful Evergreen, Colorado and had to move to Puyallup, Washington. I recently visited Bellingham it is far from a horrible town. In Puyallup, I can't find a single organic grocery store, book shop, or many locally owned stores anywhere. I just visited Bellingham and didn't want to head back to the pit that I am currently calling home. It had everything for a healthy lifestyle and it seemed very laid back. There were plenty of decent restaurants and it wasn't riddled by fast food chains. I could also hear the birds again rather than the howl of traffic outside. The weather really isn't that bad either. Oh and I felt safe. It's just rainy and cold which is tolerable. I found it to be a lovely visit and wish my job took me there instead. I don't know how the job outlook is and the cost of housing, but it has to be cheaper than Colorado and Seattle.
