Tucked between the rugged North Cascades and the sparkling Salish Sea, Bellingham, Washington is a must-visit Pacific Northwest destination that offers a stunning mix of mountains, forests, and coastal beauty. Just 90 miles north of Seattle and 20 miles south of the Canadian border, Bellingham is ideally located in Whatcom County with easy access to the San Juan Islands, Mount Baker, and the scenic Chuckanut Mountains.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find a paradise of glacial lakes, temperate rainforests, dramatic coastal bluffs, and endless hiking and biking trails. Overlooking Bellingham Bay with views of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains, the city blends natural splendor with deep cultural roots. Originally home to the Coast Salish peoples, including the Lummi and Nooksack tribes, Bellingham’s history spans coal mining, timber, and maritime trade. The city was officially formed in 1903 when the towns of Whatcom, Sehome, Bellingham, and Fairhaven merged. Today, historic Fairhaven, with its red-brick architecture, lively waterfront, and artsy vibe, anchors a city that’s grown into a vibrant college town and cultural hub. In this podcast episode, we explore why Bellingham is the perfect RV road trip stop, packed with natural beauty, rich history, and unforgettable experiences.

We’re exploring the soul-filling magic of taking the scenic route—those winding roads that turn ordinary drives into unforgettable adventures. Whether you’re RVing through the Pacific Northwest or just heading out for a weekend escape, there’s something unforgettable about choosing the road less traveled. Scenic drives may not be the fastest, but they offer a kind of beauty and freedom that stick with you long after the trip ends. From winding forest highways to coastal byways, these roads invite you to slow down, breathe deep, and soak up the journey.

Life moves fast—jobs, kids, responsibilities—and it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle. But when you trade the freeway for a two-lane highway lined with towering evergreens or panoramic river views, everything shifts. In this episode, I share my three favorite scenic roads to drive in Washington State.

So, if you’ve been feeling stretched thin or need a reminder of why you hit the road in the first place, this episode is for you. We talk about slowing down, being present, and how scenic byways in Washington, can reignite your love for the journey.
