Coffee shops, casual restaurants, and everyday shopping are scattered along the main roads, with downtown Bellingham’s galleries, dining, and nightlife close by. The South Bay Trail provides a pleasant walking and biking connection toward downtown and the waterfront, and local bus service links the area with other parts of the city.
