- Five iconic state parks near Bellingham and the far north Northwest (parks.wa.gov)
Washington’s northernmost city Bellingham has that perfectly Northwest feeling, with bookstore and coffee house combos, an art and music scene, a university and more. But the town itself is flanked by Mount Baker to the east and the Salish Sea to the west, making it outdoor heaven for hikers, cyclists, boaters, paddlers, anglers and more. And you won’t have to drive far to find this natural drama: the area has five state parks less than an hour away.

Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler (1914-2000) was born in Vienna in the year that the First World War began (9 November 1914). Later known as the screen star Hedy Lamarr, the clever Austrian would play an interesting off-screen role as an inventor in the Second World War – on the side of her adopted US homeland. This is just one of many facts that make Lamarr’s biography quite unlike that of most film stars.
