📌Hey everyone, it’s Jeff! If you want my FREE RELOCATION GUIDE with information on all things about BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON,, you can download it here: connect.buyorsellrealestatenow.com/bellinghamrelocationguide
This is the kind of topic I'd like to see more of. There's only so many videos that can be made about the weather or job market in Bellingham. Also would be good to know more about the surrounding communities.
Hey @Nicball505, I hear you it can be really tough to manage the cost of living, especially in places with rising expenses. If you’re open to it, sharing more about what specifically makes it challenging could help others understand better and maybe find solutions or support. Hang in there and take care
No real family wage job employers coming to B Ham, retail employment for college kids. Not employment opportunities for families to relocate and buy a home.
I remember when I was living close to Abbotsford visiting the malls in Bellingham. The long lines crossing the border . Since I live in Alberta it’s a long way to shopping in the US. Great falls and Kalispell just not shopping paradise as Bellingham and further south it was once upon a time.
Another problem is you can no longer tub the south fork of the nooksavk river because the natives decided that people floting on tubs kill the fish so if your white no floting the south fork ....but if your native it's all good you can tub the south fork ,ive lived in the area my whole life and the south fork is a good safe place to bring your kids to swim float on a hot afternoon. The city of bellingham sided with the natives so no floating the south fork unless your native. ...the north fork is to cold and swift it's to dangerous for kids and young teenagers
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Steve. It sounds like the situation around the South Fork has become complicated. It’s important to find a balance between protecting natural resources and ensuring everyone can enjoy the river. I can see how this would be frustrating for families looking for safe places to swim. Have you found any alternative spots for floating or swimming with your kids?
@movingtobellinghamwashington it wouldn't be an issue except the city leaders said it's ok if the natives float the river but not the whites, it adds to the racism ..and the samon doant spawn untill after late summer...I think?
I live in everson about 20 minutes from bellingham. Mostly I like the area but the city counsel sucjs and the department of ecology sucks bad right now thay are suing everyone who has a water well. We think thay are trying to make everyone who uses water from the watershed to pay for water from there own property , it costed me 20,000$ to install my well and get it up and running , so if you move to the area bewere of the A holes that run the city and county. Thay really like your money and thay try at every corner to take it from you
Hi @stevepearson6316 I’m sorry to hear you’re having such a tough experience with local regulations and the city council! It’s frustrating when it feels like the system is working against you, especially with something as essential as water. Your insight is really valuable for anyone considering moving to the area. Are there any local groups or resources you've found helpful in navigating these issues?
Hey @tonys901, it's true that homelessness can be a significant issue in many cities, including Bellingham. It's important to consider all aspects of a community when evaluating a place to live. Addressing homelessness requires complex solutions and community efforts. Thanks for bringing up this important topic.
Hey @davepnoble, that’s a great memory! Chick-Fil-A used to be a popular spot, it’s always interesting to hear about past campus landmarks. Thanks for sharing!

Hi @maverick_trail! I’ll definitely put that on my list. Let me know if there’s anything else you think I should cover.
I live in Bham, it’s a struggle to survive as a working man.

…. Not to mention that the granary building was broken into , you can tell by the wood panels over the windows and front door.

Hey @michaelblock3998! Do you live in the area?
@@movingtobellinghamwashington an hour south but yes near by. No plans to move.
You missed that it’s close to Canada. With the strength of the US dollar, everything is 30% cheaper in Canada
I appreciate your feedback @martymckay297! 💯
