The charming Fairhaven District of Bellingham, Washington has become an excellent holiday location with many people returning to stay permanently. Located on the shores of Bellingham Bay overlooking the San Juan islands the Fairhaven District has many things to offer visitors and locals alike. Having the main transportation hub located at the end of Harris Avenue, which features Greyhound, AmTrak, Water Taxis to the islands & Canada and the Alaska Marine Highway Terminal allows alternative transportation to and from the area.
History and recreation opportunities are abundant in Fairhaven. From the Walking Tour Map that guides you to the Historical buildings and Historical Markers along the Streets to the city trails that lead you along the waterfront boardwalk or out to the Interurban along Chuckanut Drive.
