Whatcom County's Hub City
Lynden is the hub of north Whatcom County, located 12 miles north of Bellingham (from the south, take Interstate 5 Exit 256 and head north on State Route 539; from the north, take 1-5 Exit 270 and head east on Birch Bay-Lynden Road). Dutch culture influences the town's shops and churches. While the town attracts many tourists, it also serves surrounding rural residents. Whatcom County is one of the top counties in the United States in milk, and raspberry production due to the farms around Lynden. The Northwest Washington Fair in August draws more than 200,000 people.
