About Ferndale
Ferndale started as a river ferry crossing on the Nooksack and became Whatcom's second city on refinery jobs, farming, and — over the last 15 years — Bellingham buyers looking for a newer house on a bigger lot ten minutes north. Population has grown from 11,000 to about 16,000 since 2010.
The housing mix shows it: a compact downtown of 1900s–60s homes, ringed by plats built from 1995 to today along Church Road, Malloy, and Portal Way. Ferndale has more new construction than anywhere else in the county, and a new high school (2023) that reset the school conversation.
