Edmonds’ own Rick Steves recently created a series about touring Whatcom County for the good folks at Visit Bellingham and Whatcom County (check out their write up of this series here). I found it fascinating and enlightening.
Below are the videos in episode order.
Episode 1: Rick Steves Tours Whatcom County and Samples Farm to Bottle Fare
Episode 2: Rick Steves Explores Seaside Life and Peace Arch State Park at the Top of the PNW in Whatcom County
Episode 3: Rick Steves Enjoys Arts & Culture in Whatcom County
I adore Fairhaven. It’s a wonderful part of the region that has a marvelous charm. I especially appreciate Rick calling out Rena Priest, Washington State’s Poet Laureate and member of the Lumi Nation.
If this inspires to you to explore Whatcom, the Visit Bellingham & Whatcom County folks have a visitors guide for you.
*A special thanks to The Poetry Department . . . aka The Boynton Blog. It’s where I first read about Rick’s video series. If you love poetry, you should go check them out.
