A no messing around guide to the coolest things to eat, drink and do in Vancouver and beyond. Community. Not clickbait.

Bellingham

Bellingham | Place | A small city in Washington State (that’s in the US, bubba) that is easily accessible from Vancouver, making it a magnet for retail deal-seekers who don’t mind oppressively sad outlet malls and aggressive US Customs jerks. Also the hometown of many cool bands, among them Death Cab For Cutie.

Usage | “I’m picking up some Adidas in Bellingham. Need a pair?”
