Beautiful Fountain District - Bellingham's Fabulous Fountain Park In The Fountain District

This Video of the fountain district might not seem very interesting unless you are a Bellingham Washington resident unless you have a sense of humor. This small park and surrounding neighborhood were a bit of a mystery to me. I was curious to find out a few things and decided to make a small video while I was at it.
This little fountain suits its surroundings but it is definitely modest and unassuming--barely large enough for a homeless person to take a bath in and maybe just big enough for a local delinquent to toss a bar of soap into.
The fountain and accompanying plaque commemorates the passage of a congressional law laying out how land was to be divided and sold off to settlers. When the USA was a young country it was not allowed to raise money through taxation on the general public so to get money and encourage settlement they sold off blocks of land to settlers. Guide Meridian Blvd. is one of Bellingham's most important thoroughfares and one of the main arteries for Canadians crossing the border into the USA for shopping. Guide Meridian begins at the US/Canadian border and runs south through Bellingham's main shopping district --and then ends at this small unassuming park.
