So much has been made about Vancouver BC getting the Winter Olympics in 2010.
My personal and professional opinion is that the jury is still out.
Most people have not lived in Bellingham for 30+ years. I have. I still remember when Expo came to BC. This was in 1986. Everyone said that Bellingham would be discovered, and it would be the new real estate hot spot. People came. Some stayed, and some just visited.
The truth is that no one knows what will happen to Bellingham in 2010. Whether the Olympics "improve" Bellingham or not remains to be seen. What I do know is Bellingham is a wonderful place to be, regardless.
As I've gotten older, I've found a new appreciation for Bellingham (the town in which I live, work and play)
Bellingham is a beautiful city. One that most people would be envious of. We enjoy all 4 seasons, but it never gets too hot or too cold. Yes the rumors are true, it does rain quite a bit, but it's a trade off. Because of the rain, we have some of the greatest green trees on earth. Other scenery includes mountains, rivers, lakes, wildlife, etc.
Our parks are bar none, and our quality of life continues to get noticed on a national level.
Crime is pretty much non-existent, the air is super healthy, the people are friendly, and it's not too crowded.
The schools have an excellent reputation and you won't find a better place to raise a family.
All in all, Bellingham gets a 10 on my list. If you have any questions regarding Bellingham real estate, please visit www.jaybaklund.com
