“When Salmon Was King.” A wayside exhibit on the Bellingham Boardwalk.

            Bellingham, Washington has adapted and diversified its economy since the decline of the salmon industry which made Bellingham prosperous in the first place. The city’s prosperity is now maintained by a blend of several key industries, including (a) education, with Western Washington University in the neighborhood; (b) a robust healthcare industry; (c) tourism, with surrounding natural beauty and a variety of attractions and outdoor activities, a vibrant art scene and historical sites, nearly 20 breweries, and the Bigfoot festival; and (d) the presence of government jobs to stabilize the economy.   
 
While the logging industry has a historical presence in the region, it isn’t the primary driver of the economy anymore.  However, companies like Nielsen Brothers Inc. still operate in the area, indicating that logging and forest management remain a part of the economic landscape.
