Why You WON’T Want to Live in This Bellingham Neighborhood!

The Meridian neighborhood in Bellingham Washington, is one of the most commercially developed areas in the city, making it a less desirable choice for those seeking a traditional residential neighborhood. Located in the northern part of Bellingham, this area is home to Bellis Fair Mall, big-box retailers like Home Depot and Target, and a variety of restaurants, grocery stores, and hotels. While the neighborhood does have a few residential pockets, including condos and a 55+ retirement community, it is primarily a hub for shopping and business. The neighborhood is well-connected, with major roads like I-5 and Meridian Street providing quick access to the Canadian border and downtown Bellingham.

Despite its commercial focus, the Meridian neighborhood has plenty of conveniences that make it an attractive area for those who value easy access to shopping and dining. With popular spots like WinCo Foods, Olive Garden, and even a new Trader Joe’s on the way, residents never have to travel far for essentials. The area also features a handful of unique local gems, such as The Birch Door Cafe, which is known for its incredible breakfast, and Tamale Factory, which partners with a local brewery to offer a great combination of craft beer and authentic tamales. While the neighborhood may not be ideal for single-family home buyers, it serves as a retail and dining powerhouse that draws both locals and Canadian visitors looking for a shopping destination.

For those exploring different neighborhoods in Bellingham, it’s important to know that the city offers 29 distinct areas, each with its own unique character.
