Bellingham's Boulevard Park

With all this incredible weather the Bellingham area has been experiencing lately it’s a perfect time to get out and enjoy some of the local sights and amenities. South Hill’s Boulevard Park happens to be one of my favorite places to go on a sunny afternoon or for an evening stroll to watch the Sunset.

Boulevard Park is located on just north of the historic Fairhaven District along South State Street and Bay View Drive. You can access the park off of South State Street and take the stairs down to the Park, down Bay View Drive and park in the park’s main parking lots or enjoy a leisurely stroll fromFairhaven to the Park via the Taylor Street Dock.

Taylor Street Dock connecting Fairhaven and Boulevard Park

Once you arrive at Boulevard Park you are greeted with breathtaking views of Bellingham Bay, Lummi Island and the Fairhaven Ferry Dock area. Boulevard Park boasts picnic tables and barbecue grills making it the perfect spot for a Summer afternoon barbecue or outdoor party. Not only is the park a lot of fun but it’s also a wonderful learn opportunity with it’s educational interpretive displays and over water Boardwalk. If a morning walk is more your style be sure and stop by a local favorite Wood’s Coffee located within the park and featuring locally made pastries and espresso drinks.

Port of Bellingham Views

From Boulevard Park you can view the Alaska Ferry when it’s in Port as well as many local sail and power boaters who are anchored up outside of the Fairhaven Boat Launch. The Ferry Terminal is local gem with many weddings and community events being held in the building.

If you have family or friends visiting from out of town a favorite hotel destination is Bellingham’s Chrysalis Inn located above the Taylor Street Dock and Boulevard Park. The Chrysalis Inn is a wonderful hotel featuring a world class spa and stunning views of the park and the water’s of Bellingham Bay beyond.

Do you have a favorite Whatcom County Summer destination? If so, we would love to hear about it! Feel free to email your photos and spots to Info@JohnsonTeamRealEstate.com and we will display them here on our blog!
