You forgot to mention how unsafe it has become due to the massive number of addicts living in the streets.

The whole county is nothing but crime from all the homeless and the place is nasty as hell

Very helpful, thanks Josh!

The homeless issues are NOT confined to downtown AT ALL. I'm putting my house on the market this spring because I can't take it anymore. And unfortunately, like many West Coast cities, the extreme progressive politics are RUINING the city. If you are into skiing and sailing and into the outdoors the surrounding areas are great. But this guy is clearly looking at bellingham with rose colored glasses.

Yeah this is actually why we are going to be moving in the next 2 or 3 years, because of this, but also there's something they won't mention, there's a TON of homeless people. EVERYWHERE. I'm not joking when I say there's a lot of businesses closing down town because of the homeless people. Every free way entrance and exit has homeless people. They are outside of every grocery store. It's bad. It's pretty here, but like it's becoming less safe over time. I have to walk to get my kids from school every day and walk because we don't own a car. And I have seen at least 1 or 2 people a week tweaking out on drugs right near the aquatic center which is right next to the elementary school. I have physically seen people doing drugs in the alley's behind the local businesses. I have only been here a year, and I can already see the decline. We pay $1467 for a 2 bedroom. So eventually my plan is to get on my feet and move away from here. Originally I wanted to buy and stay here, but unless Washington does something about the homelessness crisis, I can't see this getting better. They are all coming down from Seattle and other areas. The pluses I will say, the district as a whole has been phenomenal for my special needs kids. The teachers actually care. But the district has a weird school schedule. Elementary is out by 2:20 everyday, and then every Thursday is 12:20. This is NOT including planned teacher work days. My kids have also been off since December 15th for Christmas break. So I can't work a normal job to accommodate them. There's a massive lack of child care- or the waitlists are almost 6 months or more out. So if you need child care I would get on the waitlists ASAP. The pro's are, LOTS of nature. I feel safe going to the local parks, and generally people are super friendly and are VERY active. I love the artsy parts of down town, and I love to go to the local coffee shops or checking out the Co-op. I also LOVE third planet. They are very open and have tons of metaphysical stuff. Tons of good little food places. Literally just tons of homeless people. And honestly that will be what kills the area if the local government doesn't get it in check. So this is totally my opinion, but like everything mentioned here is correct. My sister has been actively applying for jobs for over 6 months and she hasn't been able to get hired. Would honestly recommend looking more into the Mount Vernon area or more towards Burlington so you are at somewhat of a half way point between Seattle and Bellingham to get the best of both worlds. But the cost of living is going to average about the same.

Dang that b roll looking good 🔥

Hey Josh , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you enhance Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience . Also you will save your time 😊

Wow I’m so glad I watched this before purchasing a house, thank you!! 👏

love the thumbnail!

Another great video! Good points. Makes sense! Lots to consider.

Thank youuuuuuu

This is quality info. Definitely learned a lot. Thanks Josh!

So important! Great info

We moved to B’ham in 2015; this guy’s video is spot on. The grey skies are a mental health challenge, for sure. We have a cool downtown, but as mentioned, it’s degraded by the homeless & crime. Most crime is just petty theft; if it’s not nailed down, it gets stolen, especially bikes. There’s very little in the way of actual violence on the streets, but we always carry pepper spray and keep our eyes open for shenanigans. There are plenty of these Bellingham videos made by realtors; this one is very accurate and transparent. Well done.

filthy edit 🔥

Good video, but I'm not sure Bellingham Bay equates to living by the beach, its more like another large lake in the area. Very different from the Oregon coast.

cons: Not a lot of food options No Diversity Not much to do. Expensive.

How dog friendly is Bellingham?

lol “don’t have to deal with the crime” yet the crime is at an all time high and the progressive approach doesn’t allow police to respond properly. Come on brother…

hello, I am alvi are you looking for a professional youtube thumbnails designers? you can work with me hope you get good results

Any 22 year old who buys a house is not too dumb! Love the Fairhaven community.

Good info

Bellingham summers are the best! Good good points here, very true!

Great info! Good job on this one 😊

Love all the information that's shared here!

Great video. Very informative! Almost wants to make me move there. I never knew there were so many cool places to see, eat and play!

Loved this one!

Great info! Awesome b roll! 😉

Great content and videos! I’m shocked you have under 50 subscribers. Keep up the videos, you’re content is awesome and you will get lots of business from them!

I feel like I’m gonna make the same mistake 22 year old you did😂 I’m so desperate for independence that I’m finding these little affordable towns and saw a UA-cam comment about one last night where a lady said she tried moving to Aberdeen, WA where I was looking and people would break in to her lot and leave dead animals on her driveway and destroy things for months! I said no to that place and started looking elsewhere only to find out the cities I liked were military hot spots where not many people and things were nearby. The listings are so misleading because they’re obviously not gonna mention the bad things but it’s been a hard search so far… Hence how I got to your videos! (and Bellingham 😂)

Great video!! It felt super honest and I appreciate that!

Great video, all great points!

Born and raised in Bellingham myself, living here over 30 years now, the desirability of this town as a place to live is a double-edged sword. I understand it's a fantastic place to live; I am hard-pressed to want to leave myself. And the ever-increasing cost of more money fluctuating into the area makes it near impossible to SCRAPE by with a modest income. Good luck buying anything unless you are making six figs a year. There's not really anything to be done to stop people coming, though at times I wish it could be that way. The influx of people and especially money increases the cost of living, as well as the prevalence of drugs and crime. So, fuck you everybody for turning this lovely town into more of the same corrupt metropolises that you so long to escape from. There is some good that comes from more people coming, but really, I think the more people and the more metropolitan the area becomes, it takes away many of the desirable traits that draw people here in the first place. I guess us here are lucky to enjoy it before it gets inevitably blown out. Enjoy the decline.

I like visiting the area and thanks for being so honest about the cons.

Sounds like a very boring place?? No entertainment centers?

Great Home! loved this tour! 😀

Great information!

Informative and still objective, well done! Definitely on the short list if we head further west

Great insight here! Keeping it real with the Vitamin D supplement 👊🏻

Interesting, definitely going up the list of places to move, thanks Josh!

Bellingham is fast becoming another Seattle, or Portland?! Maybe eventually it can attain San Francisco fame?!

I'm looking to move to the west coast from NYC, and Bellingham was on my list. However, the point you raised about being inconvenient for travel is a valid one. I've been watching ton of videos, and you're the first one who actually brought it up

good stuff bud

Great points. Bellingham is one of my favorites!
