Bellingham Wa  Retirement Page - Best Places To Retire  

The combination of natural beauty, home prices, recreational opportunities and quality of life have placed the Bellingham area on the minds of many people looking to escape the traffic congestion and hectic pace of larger cities and communities.      Quality of life means a lot of different things to different people-- for many it is simply breathing in the fresh mountain air or walking through an old growth forest that is just a short walk from their front door.   Bellingham offers so many simple pleasures to enjoy, like taking a leisurely walk down the historic streets of Fairhaven and stopping for a leisurely lunch at one of its many quaint cafes or restaurants,  or just sitting on a park bench overlooking the bay and watching the Alaskan ferry arrive and see numerous yachts and sailboats sail by.   

There are also many important and practical things to consider when choosing a place to retire such as emergency, police, & fire protection as well as being near a world class medical center with state of the art equipment.
