WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Whatcom County will be blessed with gorgeous fall weather this weekend. It should be perfect for all the activities in this week’s Lifestyle Lookout.

It is time for Bellingham SeaFeast 2025. This free two-day festival at Squalicum Harbor honors our area’s maritime culture with a local seafood market, vendors, a salmon firepit, a beer and wine garden, and a VIP lounge experience.

A little farther inland, one of Bellingham’s most iconic neighborhoods is throwing a party.

Sunnyland Fest runs Friday, Sep. 26 through Sunday at five local breweries. El Sueñito, Stemma West, Wander, Otherlands Beer and Kulshan Sunnyland will all release special beers for the occasion.
