Only minutes to Bellingham and with its nationally recognized schools and friendly, personable manner, Ferndale may just be the perfect place to call home. Surrounded by small acreage properties, Ferndale is an easily accessible and affordable community. With glorious views of Mt. Baker in the distance, and close to lake and river sport fishing, the town contains some of Whatcom County’s favorite parks.
