Brookdale Fairhaven, formerly Emeritus at Fairhaven, is a Bellingham, Washington assisted livingmunity for seniors. Fairhaven district has a history worth knowing. Old Towne clings to the seaside with a working shipyard and boardwalk. Cars rumble by slowly on cobble stone streets, old brick buildings house unique shops and memorable restaurants. Those blessed with time can spend plenty of it here within its few but intricate streets and lanes. Just minutes around Bellingham Bay lay the City of Bellingham where you can find everything you want and more, easily accessed by the Interstate 5 just two blocks east. Fairhaven’s Alaska State Ferry Terminal and Amtrack Station provide a diverse travel system in all directions.

Northwest Washington is home to the giant cedars and douglas firs of logging legend. Most say it is not too hot and not too cold, just like Goldilocks’ porridge. Within our sunny south side neighborhood of Fairhaven, we enjoy the quiet of the parks and trails that surround us while being just minutes to the Interstate, the beaches or the famous outlet malls. Desolation Sound is the Pacific Northwest’s secret ocean jewel. Our residents ride the ships and picnic on its beaches every summer. Lake Whatcom gives the opportunity to choose between salt or fresh water to recreate 12 months of the year. Mt. Baker looms spectacularly from almost every location. Just 25 minutes to the north, the Peace Arch US/Canada border gives passage to the international city of Vancouver, British Columbia. Hop on one of the many ferries and experience high tea in true British fashion at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in B.C’s captivating capital of Victoria, or just walk outside our front door and know you live exactly where you want to be.
