    "Sudden Valley just outside of Bellingham is an exceptionally beautiful neighbor hood with excellent neighborhood store and restaurant. Golfing , hiking and Lake access make it a really special place. There is a bus, security, recreation center and a summertime pool. "
  • Krndyer
    "Sudden Valley is an extremely beautiful area with lots of trees, views of mountains, lakes, deer, squirrels, birds, and friendly people! It really is paradise! The only drawback I can see would be for those who run at a rapid pace, who can't handle the slow pace, the need to drive slowly so as not to hit a deer and the fact that Sudden Valley is a few miles out of the heart of the City of Bellingham."
  • albrecr
    "Beautiful views and tranquility - still can get to downtown Bellingham in less than half an hour, "
  • Michele
    "I have lived here in the past. I miss it."
