Welcome to Fairhaven!
Official site of Fairhaven Association.
Nestled between the calm waters of Bellingham Bay and the majestic Cascade Mountains in Washington state, Historic Fairhaven Village is known for its Victorian-era architecture and colorful history.
Fairhaven is home to a variety of unique local businesses, art galleries, restaurants and pubs and one of the best independent bookstores in the nation.
Located on the north end of Chuckanut Drive, within the southern city limits of Bellingham, Fairhaven Historic Village is the perfect launching point for a hike, cycle or kayak on the bay.
In this era of Covid 19, Fairhaven’s shops, restaurants, bars and services are open and operating. Things may be a little different – limited capacity, 6-foot social distancing, masks and outdoor seating – but, our welcoming and friendly spirit is alive and well. Fairhaven is open and we look forward to seeing you soon!
“Dirty Dan Murder Mystery Weekend”
April 24 @ 10:00 am – April 25 @ 1:30 pm
The weekend begins when you open the Fairhaven newspaper and read: “A runner was found dead on Saturday April 24th at 9 am. on the bench next to the statue of Dan Harris*…” Thus begins the quest to find the murderer and their method.
Read the newspaper from front to back. You’ll also be given a map with locations where you can pick up printed clues to help you solve the mystery. All of the clue locations and the scene of the crime are within a half mile of Fairhaven Village Green.
Enjoy Bellingham’s historic village.
Fairhaven Village is a charming Bellingham neighborhood where art, historic architecture, unique shops and local businesses are all set in the rolling hills of Bellingham Bay. Fairhaven is a place where cuisine comes straight from the Pacific Northwest, beer is artisan and cocktails are crafted. Come and discover the enchanting soul of Fairhaven.
