    "This is an absolutely beautiful place to live if you love the outdoors. You can go snowboarding at Mt. Baker (weather permitted) to sailing on Bellingham Bay all in one day. If you love to experience the beauty of all four seasons, and not deal with extreme heat or cold, this is the place to live. Just make sure you have a lot of money otherwise you won’t live comfortably. "
