Part of Bellingham has been named one of the most creative neighborhoods in America
Bellingham is secure enough about its artsy identity that it probably doesn’t need an internet survey conducted thousands of miles away for validation. But that didn’t stop Philadelphia-based real estate company Brotherly Love Properties from including a Bellingham neighborhood in its recent list of the most creative places in the country. The study aimed to rank the most sought-after neighborhoods in America for their attractiveness to creative people.

While plenty of those included were famous neighborhoods in big cities, downtown Bellingham ranked in the top 25, the highest of any neighborhood in Washington.
