Bordering Bellingham Bay on one side and surrounded by lakes and green spaces, there is no shortage of outdoor activities in Bellingham. You can hike through Whatcom Falls Park, sail around the nearby San Juan Islands, and follow one of the kayaking trails of Lake Whatcom. Step back in time as you walk around the historic Fairhaven district, first settled in 1883. Here, even the new buildings are required to retain 19th-century facades. Another fantastic thing about the city is how easily you can enjoy it with your pets. Paws for a Beer and Wander Brewing are just a few craft breweries that welcome dogs with open arms. You can also stroll with your fur babies at Little Squalicum Park and let them enjoy the off-leash trails with you. Tagging your furry friends along would add to a fun vacation. So, check out these top pet-friendly rentals in Bellingham, Washington.
