I am a fan of random historical facts so when I came across an old calendar I had in my drawer noting Bellingham and Whatcom County facts I just had to share.

Below are some of the Whatcom County facts I found most interesting:

• Dogs were allowed ro ride on the City of Bellingham Street Cars if their owners paid 5 cents.
• In 1900 a biker path was built from Iowa Street to Lake Whatcom
• The famous Clark Gable movie, Call of the Wild, was filmed at Mount Baker in 1935.
• The street in Bellingham that marked the boundry line between Fairhaven and New Whatcom before they were consolidated was “Consolidation Avenue.”

Enjoy the sunshine!
