Thankfully, Whatcom County has not experienced the real estate frenzy of the Seattle market where multiple offers of 30 or more on a new listing are the norm. That being said, there are instances where well priced homes in popular neighborhoods receive multiple offers. It really comes down to the preferences of the individual in terms of lifestyle and purchasing power i.e. housing bang for the buck.
Here is what happened in the Whatcom County Real estate market for 2015. Whatcom County saw a drop in inventory from over 5 months to 3 months. That statistic means that if no one else listed a home, it would take only 3 months to sell off existing housing inventory. If there is be- tween 3-6 months of inventory, it is considered a ‘balanced’ market. When housing inventory levels Fall Reflection by Stacie Michaelson.

Whatcom County. What does it all mean? Bellingham is the county Whatcom Housing Inventory seat and is home to Western Washington Univer- sity and St Joseph’s Hospital. Ferndale is the next closest city. Thus the bulk of the county popula- tion is centered in that area. Population growth combined with limited land supply due to the Growth Management Act puts pressure on home prices resulting in an increase in housing prices in those two cities. In general, the further away one gets from Bellingham, the more affordable the housing. Thankfully, Whatcom County does not have the traffic issues of larger metropolitan cities.

The Lummi are Lhaq’Temish, Survivors of the Flood
Long before Europeans landed, the Lummi people, located throughout the northern corner of Wash- ington State and lower B. C., followed the salmon across the Salish Sea. Each season brought with it new bounty and sustenance for their people, from the salmon and shellfish to berries and game. The Lummi Nation still lives and thrives in What- com County and is an active player in the local economy.
Time has brought many changes to the Nation, with demands of the modern world now shaping their lives. Whiles some resources have changed, they have successfully continued to take advantage of the opportunities that improve the lives of their people, strengthening their economy and contrib- uting to the health of natural resources used by all local residents. Provided courtesy of Lummi Nation.
Lummi People: A Self-governing Nation For thousands of years, the Lummi were an inde- pendent and self-governing people. In 1855, the Lummi Nation and the United States formally rec- ognized each other and signed the Treaty of Point Elliott. For nearly a century the daily governance of the Lummi Nation was not under the authority of the people, but the Bureau of Indian Affairs. That changed in 1988 when the Lummi Nation became one of eight tribes to enter into self-governance compacts.
As the third largest tribe in Washington State, they govern more than 5,000 members and manage nearly 13,000 acres of tidelands on the Lummi Reservation. The Lummi manage their own gov- ernment functions, including cultural preservation, economic development, education, employment training, health care, law enforcement and judicial system, natural resources and public works.
Natural Resources: Restoration and Protection The Lummi people have always practiced sustain- able harvesting of salmon and shellfish along the shorelines of the Salish Sea. Today the Lummi Na- tion combines both modern science and traditional knowledge to protect and restore salmon runs for future generations. Provided courtesy of Lummi Nation.
