Much of Bellingham's retailing sprawls out along the freeway while the downtown is starting to get more offices, housing and currently a lot of empty spaces. Also pictured is a parking lot near some malls. The space needs for parking has contributed to Bellingham's retail sprawl. My personal tour of Bellingham Downtown A nice transit terminal in downtown Bellingham serves as a hub for Whatcom County transit buses. One can go anywhere the bus goes for only 50 cents.
Buses can even carry up to two bikes.
While the system is quite affordable, most people still drive their cars. Some complain that bus service is very limited at night. Like most cities, the majority of people commute by car and traffic keeps getting worse. The malls This is the message I would put on a billboard in Bellingham's Meridian St. area, if I had the money to rent billboard space and if anyone would rent it to me for this kind of message. But the moon was too far from the freeway Merchants in the Bellis Fair neighborhood, in Bellingham, seem to do their planning with only two factors in mind.
