The Central Business District
The Central Business District Neighborhood is Bellingham's downtown neighborhood and central waterfront. It is Bellingham's 'heartbeat' of cultural, civic, financial and service center of the community.
The Central Business District is a grouping of smaller "neighborhoods," each which has distinct features and flavors that reflect historical land uses, topography and geographic location. The Old Town area was inspired by the economics of the Port of Bellingham, while the Commercial Core Area has a tradition of general retail. Railroad Avenue has a unique identity, which in part comes from the very wide street that reflects the existence of a rail line that occurred earlier in the City's history.
The Civic Center runs along the northern edge of downtown and encompasses Whatcom Creek. Most of the buildings in this area house City and County offices as well as other governmental services.
The cultural district 'must see' locations include historic buildings containing the Whatcom Museum of History and Art and the Mt. Baker Theater. The Hillclimb, the historic stairway leading from Holly Street to the Civic Center and Cultural District also doubles as an outdoor amphitheater in Maritime Heritage Park on Whatcom Creek. Whatcom Creek Trail and Greenway traverse along the northern border of the neighborhood and provides a pedestrian segway from the waterfront to adjoining neighborhoods
The central waterfront has incorporated industrial uses and commercial fishing. Included in this are Squalicum Harbor Marina, Zuanich Point Park and commercial/industrial areas primarily managed by the Port of Bellingham. The City and the Port have recentlyagreed to create a redevelopment plan for 137 industrial waterfront acres acquired by the Port with homes, shops, offices and light industry, parks, promenades, and a healthy shoreline habitat along Bellingham Bay, plus a new marina
