Rent a Bus To Visit Bellingham Neighborhoods
If you are a new visitor in Bellingham or a seasoned local exploring the neighborhood’s many shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants on foot with a group may be tiresome, time-consuming or just plain difficult—particularly if there are smaller kids or those with mobility concerns in your group. While walking between your destination is free (obviously), riding local public buses is cheap too—though if you’re following an itinerary and looking for multiple bus stations along the way with ample seating options, it might be more convenient to look for other transit accommodations like rideshare services or, ideally for larger groups, private transportation. Rent a mini bus with a driver so everyone can explore all Bellingham neighborhoods in a single vehicle while enjoying premium amenities for total comfort and easy movement. Explore Bellingham’s most notable neighborhoods like historic and waterfront Fairhaven to the many breweries of Downtown; discover the beauty of Boulevard Park, a waterfront community with paved walkways, skatepark, playground and beautiful vistas along the city shore; wander the local shops of Cornwall Avenue District and take in some live performances; browse local restaurants in York neighborhood and its sister Sunnyland (often collectively called ""Yosunnyland"" by Bellingham residents), the first official neighborhood of Bellingham and close to WWU’s Fairhaven campus!
Columbia
Situated north of downtown between Meridian and State Street (or Holly Street, if you’re coming by on I-5 or Route 11), Columbia has some great neighborhoods for exploring if you enjoy an urban day. Foodies will appreciate Bakerview Square’s restaurants like Aslan Brewing Co., Bob’s Burgers & Brew, D’anna’s Cafe, The Fork at Agate Bay, or Jalapenos’ take on traditional Mexican; cinephiles can check out movies at AMC; shopaholics love Bellingham’s Regal Pavilions Mall, just one among plenty of commercial shops near the main square’s intersections of Cordata, Hannegan, West Bakerview, and Guide Meridian roads.
York & Sunnyland
These districts near Sehome Park in midtown feature quaint, residential blocks and plenty of eateries. For example, there’s Woods Coffee and The Wild Buffalo for a cafe and nightlife spot on the same block; D’anna’s and Cafe Rumba; LaFiamma Wood Fire Pizza, a popular local pizzeria known for family meals and birthday parties—just give your private motorcoach or mini bus’s driver directions to drop off near and between 20th and Alabama Street, or around Ellis or Donovan.
Downtown
The streets surrounding and leading into Bay Street offer something for everybody! Pick out some fresh vegetables and fruit at Downtown Bellingham Farmer’s Market from 10 am – 2pm on Wednesdays between mid-April to late December. Explore the annual festivals throughout the year like Northwest Tune-Up, where more than 5,000 cyclists converge along local Bellingham breweries including Aslan, Chuckanut, or Structures and Kulshan’s K2 brewery on the same block.
When it comes to transport, buses cannot operate on every Downtown Street in Bellingham due to oversize vehicle traffic restrictions (especially on busy one-way and two-way sections like W Holly St. and Dupont). And while it’s also important to be aware of where your driver parks their charter or mini bus once everyone’s been dropped off at Bellingham hotspots like Commercial St.’s Bay Street and Chestnut at the pick-up point to take photos of the city’s iconic neon Archway—which marks the start of Holly and East Champion Street’s commercial district leading to bustling West Chestnut and W Holly. Your party can simply check out what stores and galleries the rest of downtown Bellingham’s core and surrounding neighborhood blocks like Cornwall has to offer.
