If you move to Bellingham, you’ll quickly learn: it’s not rain, it’s “a mist,” and yes, we do go hiking in it.

Bellingham is a hidden gem of a city. It's so nice that there's a code against telling anyone. The only people who encourage others to move here work in real estate. (e.g. movetobellingham.net/) Or altruistic lovers of humanity. #traitors
