Retail location analysis. Downtown and the malls Scroll down. It is rare that Bellingham gets snow, but the one big snow we had in the last few years makes for a great photo opportunity.
Downtown is in transition.
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.
