Bellingham, Washington is a city of around 80,000 spread about an area of about 32 square miles. It is the seat of Whatcom County and is the largest city in the county. Bellingham’s economy declined from production-based, such as in mining, construction, and manufacturing to more service-oriented.

The primary roadway into the city is Interstate 5. Compared to the rest of the state Bellingham’s annual fatal accident count is typically lower. Public transportation is provided by the Whatcom Transportation Authority.

Bellingham has an oceanic climate. Semi-permanent high and low pressure Pacific Ocean systems combine with the North American continental air. Further interaction with Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges cause autumn and winter to be predictably cool and dry while spring and summer are reliably warm and moist. While snow is relatively uncommon, some Big Snow and deep freeze winter events have been recorded several times over the past century.
