About Student Housing in Bellingham
Bellingham, WA is a mid-sized city of about 90,000 tucked between the Cascades and Bellingham Bay in the far northwest corner of the state. Western Washington University sits on a forested hillside above town, and its students give the place a young, outdoorsy energy that spills into the neighborhoods. You'll find students spread across Sehome, Happy Valley, the York neighborhood, South Hill, and downtown, with the historic Fairhaven district to the south offering its own walkable core. Boulevard Park and the South Bay Trail link the waterfront, and the bay, the islands, and Mount Baker are all within easy reach. Between the farmers market, festivals, and a steady arts scene, Bellingham feels like a real city surrounded by mountains and water.
