About Birch Bay
Birch Bay is Whatcom County's beach: a shallow, warm-water crescent that empties at low tide into a mile of sand, ringed by cottages, condos, and — since the 2020 berm project — a paved shoreline promenade. It grew as a summer-cabin community in the 1900s and is steadily becoming a year-round town of full-time residents and second-home owners.
Housing splits into gated Birch Bay Village (marina, golf, HOA) and everything outside it — beach cottages on Birch Bay Drive, 2000s–20s plats on Harborview, and estates on Point Whitehorn. Sewer expansion is turning septic-only lots buildable, and prices remain well under Bellingham.

Confirm sewer vs. septic and any pending LID assessment on every Birch Bay parcel.
Both. Sewer is expanding; Irena confirms utilities and any pending LID assessments before you offer.
Rules vary by area and HOA. Irena will verify the specific property's status.
Yes — it's a summer-peak community. Many buyers love that; some don't. Visit in both seasons.
