City of Bellingham description
Early residents in Happy Valley settled on small platted lots near Fairhaven and larger “garden tracts” throughout the rest of the valley. A streetcar line connected Happy Valley to Fairhaven’s waterfront along Harris Avenue.

The end of the world as we know it
No, not a REM song, Boeing has set forth the stuff a lot of science fiction movies are based on, eradicating the life out of electronics. They have come up with a missile, that instead of blowing up the target, sends a huge burst of microwave energy instead. This has the effect of shutting down […]
