Timber mills, coal mines and a carnival. In the late 1800s, Lake Whatcom emerged as both the key to the growth of Bellingham, Washington, and a thriving weekend playground. From steamboats plying the lake, transporting both goods and passengers, anglers seeking what was touted as the "finest trout fishing in the world," the lake became central in the daily lives of local residents. Rail and trolley lines constructed along the shoreline supported the timber and coal mining industries and a popular amusement park drew crowds of adventure seekers. Join author H. Leon Greene as he explores the development of Lake Whatcom and how it shaped life in the region today.
