Sehome
Neighborhood
Information
Sehome is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Bellingham and features many historic homes. This well maintained neighborhood features medium size lots, most of which lookout over Bellingham, the Canadian Mountains or Mount Baker. Narrow streets wind through the hilly neighborhood with its well-maintained homes and mature landscaping. At the top of the hill is an arboretum jointly owned by the City of Bellingham and Western Washington University. Trails wind through the forest and give breath-taking views of the bay.
Residents are a mix of families, retirees and college students. Although some of the grand turn of the century mansions remain, many of them have been turned into boarding houses or been divided into several units. The majority of the multi-family residences in Sehome have 3 or fewer units.
In the southern part of Sehome is Sehome Village featuring a Haggens supermarket, Starbucks, REI and local shops, banks and offices. Samish Way, which connects Sehome Village to the residential area, is lined with restaurants. Sehome neighborhood occupies the north and east sides of the Sehome Hill while Western Washington University has the rest.
Children attend Lowell Elementary School, Fairhaven Middle School and Sehome High School.
