Bellingham, WA
In March 2005, Kiplinger's
Personal Finance named Bellingham one of the top
retirement cities in the nation. Purchase price of homes
has risen, however rent has remained relatively stable.
Many of the condominiums recently built as a result of
the demand for affordable housing have subsequently
become rental units.
Bellingham has a vibrant and diverse music scene.
Supported by local independent record labels like Estrus
Records, Clickpop Records, and New Regard Media,
Bellingham has spawned bands that have grabbed the
national spotlight like Idiot Pilot, Death Cab For
Cutie, Mono Men, Federation X, and The Trucks.

The people of
Bellingham pursue a diverse range of amateur sports,
with skiing and snowboarding at the Mount Baker Ski
Area popular in the winter and kayaking and cycling
in the summer. Mt. Baker claims an unofficial world
record for seasonal snowfall, with 1140 inches recorded
in the 1998-1999 season.
Bellingham has seen a resurgence of real-estate development as house prices climb, caused in part by new residents moving in to the community. In order to accommodate this growth, new properties have sprung up all over the city, including the Downtown, Fairhaven, Happy Valley, Cordata, and Barkley neighborhoods. The City of Bellingham has reiterated their commitment to developing a wide range of housing options for all income categories, while retaining the integrity of existing communities. Annexation of surrounding farmland and county wilderness has been kept to a minimum due to public concern for environmental preservation, but several controversies have risen over the city's decisions to counteract the loss of land by allowing taller buildings in the city core, major new development on previously undeveloped land, and a lack of parks and open spaces in some of the more recently developed areas.
