Nooksack, with a population of 1,004 in 2006 and is located at the intersection of State Highways 9 and 544, just 20 minutes northeast of Bellingham and 15 minutes from two border crossings leading into British Columbia. The metropolitan pleasures of Seattle (2 hours away) and Vancouver, B.C. (1 hour) are easily within reach, but residents are more likely to go fishing, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, boating and much more. Both Mt. Baker and saltwater marinas are less than an hour away from Nooksack. Special events include the Everson-Nooksack Summer Festival the second weekend in July.
In the midst of many dairy and berry farms, Nooksack residents are only minutes away from restaurants, retail stores and professional services. For a wider selection and “big-box” stores, residents can head to Bellingham, home of the historic Fairhaven District. Looking for a mall experience? Go to Bellingham’s Bellis Fair mall, which has five anchor stores, more than 140 specialty shops and a six-screen theater. For live entertainment, the Mount Baker Theatre in Bellingham attracts top-caliber performers.
Bellingham is served by Amtrak and multiple airlines, including Delta Airlines, Horizon Air and Allegiant Air. The Whatcom Transportation Authority provides bus service between Nooksack and Bellingham.
Nooksack also is close to Bellingham’s educational institutions, including Western Washington University, which has approximately 13,000 full- and part-time students. For healthcare needs, residents can choose from a number of local family-care providers and utilize the resources of Bellingham’s St. Joseph Hospital, a leader in the care of heart, cancer and senior patients.
