City Suites - Unclaimed

Birchwood sits in northwestern Bellingham, with a residential setting near the edge of the city and access to the coast and larger green spaces.

The neighborhood’s history is tied to Bellingham’s growth as a port and regional center; the Whatcom Museum’s historic Old City Hall offers a nearby glimpse of that past. Walking and biking work for local trips, and Whatcom Transportation Authority buses connect Birchwood with other parts of the city.
