Awful place to live...and that's being positive! -
1/25/2020I wish I could give this awful place zero stars. I lived in Bellingham for 1 year and 19 days and I was never so glad to get out of a city and state as I was this awful place. I knew quickly that we were never going to fit in because we are professionals and didn't smoke dope! Several times I had to roll my car windows up because of the dope smoke from nearby cars at signal lights....no lie! I was relocated on a company transfer and couldn't find a decent home so we built a home. Yes, we built a home only because I had to build or purchase within a year to get my relo benefits. So overpriced and for nothing more than a spec house. The people here are so rude it became a joke to us. Even the people I worked with were rude and my boss that walked by my office door twice every morning to get coffee actually said "good morning" only once. We miss a couple restaurants but that's it. We found that the only people that like or say anything positive about B'ham were the people born and raised in B'ham because no one that has lived anywhere else wants to put up with the traffic, the weather, the high cost of living, the stoners, the homelessness, the pan handlers, the county government that is so narrow minded they stifle business grown, and that is just to name a few reasons. Overall an awful city with old run down homes, terrible traffic and a high cost of living! That should be the city slogan!
