Fall in Whatcom County is meant to be enjoyed outside. From tree-lined trails and neighborhood parks in Bellingham to peaceful paths, waterfront views, and open spaces stretching north toward Blaine, there are countless ways to slow down and take in the season.

Crisp morning walks, colorful weekend hikes, afternoons by the water, and changing leaves are all part of what makes calling this corner of the Pacific Northwest home so special.

If you’re considering a move in Whatcom County, I’d love to help you find a home that puts the lifestyle you love right outside your door.

First Look gives sellers and their listing brokers more flexibility in how a property comes to market, while maintaining the transparency and equal access that are essential to the real estate process.

Thinking about selling? Let’s talk about whether First Look could be part of the right strategy for your home.

to more fair fun and some of our favorite family memories.

Our granddaughter Ashlyn spent five days at the fair showing her horse with her 4-H club, and we could not have been prouder. Such a little peanut on such a big horse, and she did an incredible job!

The rodeo and mutton busting made the week even more special. Our son Jeremy and his family dedicate days of their time to helping make mutton busting happen, alongside so many wonderful volunteers. This year, it came full circle with our great-grandson getting his turn to climb on a sheep and join the fun.

We are incredibly proud of our family and their commitment to the fair, but we are just one small part of the many families and volunteers who make this tradition so special. It is community at its best, and one of the many reasons we are proud to call Whatcom County home.
