It's Better in Bellingham
I took the family up to Bellingham on Thursday, Frank wanted to see some comic/trading card shop up there, we ended up at this really neat Railroading Museum, with typical museum stuff, plus several model trains you can run, and a train operator computer simulation- Plus a geocache inside the museum!
Kind of funky, some well detailed models, then some off the wall things, like Barney the Purple dinosaur tied to the track. And it's all right downtown! You wouldn't see that in Seattle.
We ate at an old restaurant called the Horseshoe, I knew the food would be good when I saw the waitress had a huge tattoo. That's one of my rules of thumb for fine dining. We didn't get to go everywhere we wanted to, plan to return soon to see the Antique Radio Museum in the same area, the Science museum, and more.
Bellingham has a sort of Bohemian feel to it, I know it's a college town but the downtown isn't full of starbucks and mcdonalds on every corner, I wonder if they set old town up on different zoning so these musuems and old business district buildings can survive.
I feel like I am with my people there, Marysville/Everett is too republican flavored for my taste. Bellingham even has decent 3 bedroom houses starting in the 190's. Geez what am I, the Chamber of Commerce? Go see for yourself!
