Do you love carnies? Who doesn't?! The annual Northwest Washington Fair is held every August in Whatcom County (Lynden, more precisely). It features all the fabulous trappings of circus life, from musical acts to rickety rides, plus a selection of handmade goodies from locals, including quilts, canned goods, and flowers.
Sitting on the 'Murican side of the border between British Columbia and the U.S., the wee community of Lynden, with its population of about 12,000 folks, has a surprising plethora of amenities available for residents and visitors on both sides of the border. Of course, if that information isn't motivation enough to pack your things immediately, consider the fact that Lynden is only 95 miles from Seattle? Weekend road trip, anyone? But you don't have to leave the village limits to explore the awe-inspiring Nooksack Indian Village, amazing dairies (and the resulting super creamy ice cream -- yum!) and exceptional local restaurants (steakhouses, Mexican platters and wineries). If you need to work off the extra pounds resulting from such indulgence, simply take a hike -- literally. Washington is known for its stunning vistas. Grab a kayak, hiking boots, or bird watching book, and head in any direction for fun! View Lynden City Guide
