Special Walk – Little Free Libraries

Visit some of the Little Free Libraries in South Bellingham  

 Our walk will begin and end at Boulevard Park and take about 1.5 hours. Our route will head up 14th Street, past Lee’s and Annette’s houses, then through Fairhaven Park to see another little library located on Chuckanut Drive and back through Fairhaven. Walkers might want to bring a book to exchange at one of the libraries along the way.   

  • 9:00 AM Tuesday, November 19
  • Meet outside of Woods Coffee in Boulevard Park
  • If the weather is bad, we will send an email to cancel and reschedule at a later date.

Trail Work Party – October 2

Posted on by

Time for trail maintenance work

Our Fall trail work party scheduled for Wednesday, October 2, — was postponed.  Watch for an email message to advise you of the new date:

This will be more than just a work party – we will be helping at a new county park and trail !  It is near Sudden Valley and is called the Lookout Mountain Preserve Park/Trail. 

Tom Chisholm, our Whatcom County park contact, will be bringing extra gloves, clippers, rakes, etc – but feel free to bring your own if you wish.

This is a fun social time with a by-product of helping to keep our local trails in good shape for walking.

DIRECTIONS:  Travel east on Lakeway Drive and turn right on Lake Louise Road (as if driving to Stimson trail).  Continue on until you see the sign for Gate 9 – the park is just opposite it.  If the parking lot has not been completed, we are to park in the pullouts along Lake Louise Road.  Carpooling would be a good idea.
