Bellingham, WA

On Friday we took a road trip north on I-5 about 35 miles to Bellingham.  There is an area south of the city called the Fairhaven Historic District.  We stopped to check out the treasure trove of quaint little shops and restaurants.  We also drove through a couple of parks in the area.  We were through looking around well before lunch, so we headed back to Anacortes on some back roads to see the country.
Below are some pictures we took while walking around Fairhaven.

These flowers hung on every light pole in every town we have seen out here.  Beautiful! This is their spring.

Metal sculpture/bench was tucked in an alley around the corner from the main street.  When we walked closer to the sculpture we saw that the space opened up to shops and restaurants.

At first glance these murals were very lifelike.  Especially the kids in the windows.

The red bus was a walk up restaurant that sold among other things.....fish and chips.  Unfortunately it was too early for lunch.

The Hollyhocks are blooming and we have seen some really big plants.  

More wildflowers along the sides of the road.
