Yesterday I was doing an inspection in Lynden, Washington.  Lynden is a small town Northeast of Bellingham, Washington.  It was founded in the late 1800s by Dutch immigrants. Lynden, Washington is a very clean and well kept community. The downtown area looks like a little bit of Holland.

Lynden also has a unique entry.  The gateway to Lynden is, I believe, the only one anywhere that is flanked by a pair of cemeteries.

Lynden is also the home of the Whatcom County, Washington fair.  The permanent fair grounds occupies a large area on the South side of Front Street, the main drag of Lynden, Washington.Entry to Whatcom County, Washington fairgrounds

I hope you enjoyed this little picture of a unique area of Northwest Washington.

Thanks for looking.

Looks like a great place to live.  Much like downtown Blue Ridge.

Lynden is like walking into a storybook. I am surprised they have never filmed a movie there. Something that is dated back to the 60's. It would not take much to establish that feel, despite Lynden being a bustling little city. It looks great at Christmas.

Your Dutch headline caught my attention... my husband and his family are from Holland.
