Fairhaven is a historic district in Bellingham with a rich and fascinating past. Established in 1883 by Dirty Dan Harris, Fairhaven was once a thriving pioneer settlement. Over the years, it grew rapidly and became known for its manufacturing industry, particularly in salmon, lumber, and coal.

However, after World War II, manufacturing shifted to downtown Bellingham, causing Fairhaven's population to decline. Despite this, Fairhaven has maintained its charm and character, with 17 historic buildings still standing today. While Fairhaven preserves its old-time charm, it has also adapted to the demands of modern times.

The district now boasts a variety of residential properties, including condos, apartments, and homes, to accommodate its growing population. Additionally, Fairhaven offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options to cater to both visitors and locals. Whether you're strolling along the cobblestone streets or exploring the surrounding neighborhoods with their stunning Victorian homes, Fairhaven transports you to a bygone era.

It's a destination that beautifully blends the past and the present
