Sehome Historic District pairs storied architecture with everyday convenience, set just uphill from Bellingham and the academic energy of Western Washington University. Tree-canopied blocks showcase early 20th-century homes with period detail, while the nearby Sehome Hill Arboretum weaves 5+ miles of forested trails to an observation tower with sweeping bay and mountain views. Cultural outings are effortless: downtown galleries, theaters, and the Whatcom Museum are minutes away, and coffee spots and cafes keep the neighborhood humming from morning to night.
Families value the strong public school system; the area is served by Bellingham Public Schools, with students commonly attending Sehome High School. Commuting is simple thanks to bus routes and bike-friendly streets, and weekend routines often include the farmers market, a stroll to Bayview Cemetery’s quiet paths, or a quick hop to the historic storefronts of Fairhaven. When it’s time to explore further, outdoor destinations across Whatcom County are within easy reach—lakes, shoreline parks, and trailheads that make living here feel like an invitation to wander.
Whether you’re drawn by classic homes, proximity to campus, or access to trails and culture, Sehome Historic District offers a thoughtful blend of history and livability.
