Welcome to living off campus in Bellingham! Perhaps it is the 64 miles of interurban trails, the 3000 acres of parks, or the great music and arts scene, but Western students take great pride in their city and many stay long after graduation. Even if they don’t stick around, Western alumni hold a special place in their hearts for the “City of Subdued Excitement” (our unofficial city motto).
