Northwestern Washington city on Bellingham Bay, 90 minutes north of Seattle and 30 minutes south of the Canadian border — anchored by Western Washington University and the Bellingham-based remote-worker community. Fairhaven (the converted-historic district) and Downtown are the walkable cores. US has no DNV. The structural draws are Pacific Northwest geography (Bellingham Bay + the San Juan Islands + Mount Baker at 1h), real four-season climate (mild rainy winters, dry warm summers), and meaningfully sub-Seattle rents. Native Cascadia-Pacific-Rim community feel.
Cost-adjusted FIRE number, time-to-FI scenarios, and how this base compares to a US lifestyle baseline.
