Commercial in Bellingham — what's different here

Bellingham isn't the county average. Here's what matters.

Bellingham commercial means downtown and Fairhaven mixed-use, Meridian and Bakerview retail, Irongate industrial, and small multifamily near WWU. The city's downtown overlays shape what a building can become.

Irena's Bellingham tip

Downtown buildings with residential above sell to a wider buyer pool — price both uses.
