Thinking about possibly relocating there from SoCal. Preliminary info sounds great - climate, access to San Juan Islands, mountains, British Columbia, good music scene, etc. etc. Then I get to this: STRONG chapters of Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Food Not Bombs. Also home to the "longest-running peace vigil in the U.S."
I've got nothing against "peace", but this sounds like Berkeley North. With that many activist groups in a relatively small city (85,000) is this place totally taken over by libs, or can a normal guy go about his business without stepping over hippies all over the place. Much of the info above came from Wikipedia, so it could hopefully be bogus. Hoping to get an on-the-ground report from somebody who knows. |
| Yeah, those various groups are around. But, it's a beautiful area (probably one of my favorite places). Water, islands, you don't have to drive far to be in the sticks, Canada is close by. Don't let the nutter groups keep you from there. WA is full of lefties, but it's still filled with decent people too. |

Outside of town is OK, as stated, Lynden is the area to look towards. I do not like the direction the state in general is heading, but just got to fight it.
I live just south of town and it's cool, lots of good stuff here. Custer Sportsman Club is a good place to go shooting, as far as ranges go. |

Bellingham is libtard because of Western Washington University.
Whatcom County is actually very conservative. Lots of places to go shooting and dirt bike riding, you just need to hook up with the right people. Just don't ask us to tell you where they are in an open forum. |

All those great places to go shooting are out in the forests and parks.
