Bellinghams Silver Beach neighborhood has quite the history.  Originally, way back when, in the early 1900s, Silver Beach had a hotel, Farris wheel and park.  It must have been a site to see!  Bloedel-Donovan Park, located on the east side of Lake Whatcom, is a 20-acre park that fills up with sunbathers, picnics, bbq, family gatherings, swimmers, and dog owners!

Miles of trails await runners, walkers, or park-goers who simply want to stroll from Bloedel-Donovan to Whatcom Falls. Bird watchers can take advantage of Scudder Pond, a preserved wetland that is always bustling with wildlife. Some backyards are simply a gate away from this wildlife, essentially having an entire park behind their house. I lived in the Silver Beach neighborhood and deer walked through my back yard on a regular basis.

A favorite quick stop for all going through or to the Silver Beach area is the Silver Beach Grocery!  It is great to go to a place that knows your name!  Stop by some time!  Enjoy the beauty of this neighborhood!
