Moving To Ba From Canada

[ajoknoblauch]

Bellingham is pretty, and its a College town, so there are cheap tacos.
It is swarmed with Canadians, especially at the Costco and Trader Joes. The Trader Joes is the third or fourth busiest in the entire company, with over 150 employees for a small store, because the Canadians come down and just hoover up the stock, particularly cheese, wine, and odd ball gourmet treats.
They are thinking about building a second Costco, basically just to serve the Canadian trade.

Bellingham also has a lot of cultural activities, and one of the country's best remaining independent bookstores in http://www.villagebooks.com

Yes, Village Books is pretty good. Also several really good used books stores, including Eclipse, and Hendersons.
Good little art museum, too. I live about twenty minutes to the south of Bellingham, in the Skagit Flats, near Edison, which is becoming quite the food destination town.
Bellingham does not approach the cultural activities of Buenos Aires, however.

True, but Buenos Aires does not remotely approach the scenery of Bellingham, Puget Sound, the Cascade Range, and the Olympic Peninsula.

Exactly why I live in both places. The best of both worlds. You cannot get pizza, or a kilo of ice cream from Jauja, delivered at 1 am in rural Washington State, no matter how hard you wish.
