Lynden Community Information
It is obvious to a first time visitor that the early Lynden
settlers must have had Dutch roots, because this charming town
celebrates its history in everything from its architecture to
its festivals. It is also obvious that people take pride in their
town and their homes- I don't believe that I have ever seen an
unkempt Lynden yard. Lynden was founded by farmers and farming-
particularly berries and dairies- still provide the basis for
the town's economy.
Lynden has also become a very popular retirement area as well as a place to live.
Part of that can be explained by a golf course community called
Homestead, which was well planned and executed across a broad
spectrum of price ranges. Additional developments have maintained
this quality and typically provided housing at a lower price
range than comparable homes in Bellingham. Small wonder that
Lynden has been the fastest growing city in Whatcom County since
1980.
Home to the Northwest Washington Fair and
the Lynden Pioneer Museum, Lynden stays close to its agricultural
roots and well as its religious roots. Lynden Christian High
School is nearly as large as its public counterpart and the majority
of the businesses are closed on Sunday.
