3004 Douglas is 9 miles from the shores of Puget Sound, a stunningly beautiful area of islands, beaches, bluffs, and deltas. Sailing and boating are popular, and there are ferry itineraries that provide close-up access to the scenery. Birdlife is plentiful; and seals and whales are regularly sighted. Got two days to “vacation”? Take the Bellingham ferry to Victoria, BC. . . . Fabulous!
