Lynden


The first thing you notice when visiting Lynden is how neat and tidy everything is. From the residences to the downtown shops and streets, pride of ownership shows.  

Lynden is home to many community events, including the Raspberry festival, Holland Days, and the Northwest Washington Fair. The agriculture influence of Whatcom County is evident in the wide streets that accommodate an occasional tractor.

Lynden is known for its beautiful, close-knit neighborhoods, great parks, and outdoor recreation. It is a short drive to snow skiing, water skiing, salt water island hoping, hiking, mountain climbing, sailing, fishing, kayaking and much, much more.

If it’s big-city shopping and theatre that you enjoy, you are a short drive to either Vancouver, British Columbia, or Seattle.

There are many employment opportunities near by such as St. Joseph regional hospital, Western Washington University, Intalco aluminum smelter, two oil refineries and many more.

Lynden is a quiet, safe, friendly town that most anyone would enjoy.
