Weekend Thoughts: Good Ol’ Bellingham

What a lovely weekend. Saturday was spent with friends, pretty low key. Went to the Edmonds Farmers Market, then ordered dinner from Lynnwood’s Asian Wok. Several friends recommended Asian Wok to me, so I’m glad we made the time finally. One note: specifically order rice. Nothing dramatic, but then we move to Sunday.

Sunday we went to Bellingham, one of my favorite cities. Attended service at St. Paul’s, getting me my Episcopalian fix. More importantly, I got to spend time with dear friends, one who is now clergy on staff there. Afterward, we all went to Cornwall park. Just another reminder of Bellingham’s great park system. Seeing all the cyclists drove home how much more bike friendly Bellingham is. Sadly, I didn’t make it to my favorite coffee shop, Tony’s. Just another reason to go back up.

Gloriously low on traffic, great water and mountain access, a vibrant restaurant scene, Western Washington University, Fairhaven (oh, Fairhaven!) along with everything above add up to one of my favorite places. Period.
