Silver Beach Neighborhood -Bellingham

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty

With miles of waterfront along the western end of Lake Whatcom, the Silver Beach Neighborhood has great recreational opportunities and beautiful views. There are lots of incredible lake-front homes along the shore as well as a wide variety in the styles and ages of well cared for and beautifully landscaped homes in the rest of the neighborhood.

Bloedel Donavan Park, one of Bellingham most popular is here along the shores of Lake Whatcom. The park has boat access, swimming area, basketball and volley ball courts, playground, and the pavilion which is a multi-purpose building with gymnasium and meeting rooms, a smaller building for meetings and classes, and a pre-school. Big Rock Garden is also one of the neighborhood gems, with its sculpture gardens, in a forested setting with loads of Rhododendrons and Azaleas.

Great job, Michael.

Have you ever heard of White City....a huge amusement park that was out by Lk Whatcom long before we were born? Fascinating photos of a big ferris wheel, roller coaster. I have some photos if you have not seen it.

I found these sites, years back. I think they actually tie to some school children's projects. If you click on the words, like roller coaster, etc, that is in the text you see the photos. Absolutely amazing that all this was here back then. Kind of like finding space aliens. Anyone interested in Bellingham history will like!

Thanks for the links Steve, pretty amazing that that parka and roller coster where up in Silver Beach long ago. Too bad the kids of today don't have anything like that.
