Ferndale Community Information
Ferndale is a thriving community surrounded by fertile farmland
and is famous for its "Baker to Bay" views for the ridges
west of town. It celebrates its history with Hovander Park (featuring
a turn of the century Hovander Farm), the Scottish Highland Games
and the Civil Way re-enactment. Ferndale's location on the river
also provides it with unique ecological features which the Whatcom
County Park Department has made available to the public in the
Tennant Lake Interpretive Center, Fragrance Garden and Lake Terrel
Wildlife Refuge
Ferndale is also the closest town to the Lummi Reservation, which
includes Sandy Point, Gooseberry Point and the ferry terminal
to Lummi Island. Sandy Point Heights are the housing areas within
the Lummi Reservation, but the land is owned just as it is in
any other part of the county. Many homes in these communities
have spectacular views of the sound, Mt. Baker and the Canadian
Costal Range. Amenities include a marina, golf course, swimming
pool and tennis court. The Lummi Reservation is home to the Lummi
Indian Nation, a coastal tribe with a rich heritage centering
on the wildlife- salmon, shellfish, deer, eagle, and orcas on which
it has always counted on for both physical and spiritual sustenance.
The Stommish, an annual celebration of victory over the enemy
features a canoe race, dancing and royalty.
